Odds and Ends
We have done a lot of "outside stuff" getting ready to sell this house. The girls love it cause they get to play outside and get messy.
Today while Lauren napped, Emma and I planted flowers to add to the "curb appeal." Our house will go on the market on Thursday so we are doing some last minute things to get ready.
As you can see our wonderful abandoned house next door has grown a forest so we are now going to be caring for two yards until our house sells. We decided to gut it out cause we really don't have a choice. It has been abandoned for over a year and is in foreclosure. Dave borrowed a really nice weed trimmer from a friend and secretly couldn't wait to get over there. (I think he had a smile on his face the entire time.) Anyway, he knocked the 3' high weeds down and located a couple dead animals in the process. YUCK!
We started trimming some of their bushes? / weeds? in their front yard and I told Dave that I felt so "criminal" doing it. His response was, "you feel criminal because you haven't done much criminal stuff in your life. " Anyway, it probably is illegal but who cares. Call the cops. :) I guarantee the yard will look 100% better in a week!
Also, here is a picture of Lauren and her new favorite vegetable. :) She loves sweetcorn and actually chews it so well that I swear she is getting chunks of the cob too. She fits right in to the Kaup side of the family.
Soccer has been underway for about three weeks now and Emma is thrilled to be playing again. Once again their team is amazing and hasn't lost a game yet...except we aren't keeping track of that...(except Dave.)
Goodnight!

Goodmorning, great pictures! I know you have worked soooooo hard to get the house ready to sale. Now we will pray..not to sale too early but to sale so you won't have any stress. Just start praying to St.Joseph the patron saint for selling homes. I won't get you a kit yet, it's too early.
The offer is open..if your new home is not ready when you have to move our home is open.
If your new house in not ready when you have to move our home is open too! You could take a little vacation. :)
I can't wait to see the new house and I hope the selling process goes well.
See you in a few weeks. :)
If St Joseph doesn't come through you can go right to the TOP, and you don't even need a kit. Dave maybe you could start a side business of lawn service, I could use you :)
Wow! A lot has happened since I've been to blog-land! Great pictures; I miss soccer, but not yard work!
