Welcome Home Barbie!

Every time we have been to our neighbors house, Reese has enjoyed playing in little Blake's Barbie house. A few weeks ago Blake's mommy called and said that since Blake was 8 years old she decided she was to old for her Barbie house and she wanted Reese to have it.

Moving Day
On Sunday Reese was starting to feel better from having Hand, Foot and Mouth so we thought it might be a fun day to get the house. We headed over to the Caffrey's to hang out and watch the Daddy's move the house. It was so funny watching the Daddy's moving this thing down the sidewalk with dollys. Think...when you see a truck with a double wide on the highway! They needed a wide load sign:)



Once they got the house moved we hung out for awhile and had pie. Poor Reese had horrible blisters in her mouth and had barely eaten in 4 days so when she expressed an interest in chocolate pie I said sure. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it what do you think? Ha!



First thing Monday morning Reese wanted to go play in her "ouse" as she says it. We spent most of the day playing outside.




On Monday night I went to get my haircut and when I came back this is what I found....

Not only did Reese talk Daddy into getting McDonalds for dinner but they had a picnic in the Barbie house! I had left them a weight watcher casserole to cook.(Hmm maybe they are trying to tell me something:)! Bob said they had a great time and Reese just loves her little house.

Here is the only picture we got of sweet Blake..


I pray that when Reese is 8 years old that she will have that same sweet and generous spirit. First we have to get past the "no no mine" stage..sigh!

I'm so glad Reese is feeling better (as I'm very sure you are, too!). The house is cute- you can tell she loves it.
