What's been happening at my house

Last Friday we went to Dollywood with some friends. We had a good time there. We always do. But we had to hurry home because it was Free Babysitting Night at church and we wanted to take advantage of that and have a date night together.

Dd attended VBS at her friend's church every morning last week. She really enjoyed it. Their theme was an Australian one and they learned some really cute songs. They had a family night on Thursday and we got to see them perform all their songs.

This weekend we went to the Midtown Drive-in at exit 350. They were showing Night at the Museum and Land of the Lost. It is really cool, because on Sunday night they flip the order so that you can see the second one, if you are old like us, and can't stay up that late to watch two movies in a row! lol It's a neat atmosphere to see a movie at the drive-in. Dh and I are both old enough to remember attending these with our parents when we were little. We brought our own sandwiches, chips, rice krispie bars, drinks, etc. Some families bring in pizza, KFC, and such. There is a restaurant there that serves food and popcorn, etc. But bringing your own food and snacks is much more frugal. We had a good time!

This week, dd is attending VBS at her own church and it is in the evening. I will probably hang out at some bookstores while she is there. It's always nice and quite there.

Dh is still actively searching for a job. He got a few nibbles last week which excited us. We are just still praying that God sends him the job He wants him to have.

We participated in our neighborhood yearly yard sale on Saturday. We only made a little over $70. I was a bit disappointed in that. But when you are pricing things at .50 and $1.00 it takes a lot to add up to much. All the clothing and most knick-knack kind of things went straight to KARM afterwards. The books that were left will go to McKays. I am glad that this stuff has left my Chaos Cottage. But we still have lots of decluttering to do. Will it ever end? I'm thinking not.

Dh is still doing his IT certification at Grace and will be doing that most of this week to try to finish up. He may or may not sign up for another one. He has promised me he will work in the basement this week. We want to set up a TV/Media room down there. He has all the Best Buy gift cards he needs to buy the flat screen TV of his choice. I know we will really enjoy the cooler temps in the basement. We have yet to turn on the AC. I know, can you believe it? Fans help a lot. When we start painting upstairs we will have to have the AC on or dh and I will pass out! lol

Well, that's about it for now. Have a great day!

I enjoyed your update. Liked hearing about the drive-in movie, what fun! Said a prayer for DH and the job situation. God bless you and your sweet family.
