The heat of summer and current market slump here in Oklahoma may have some sellers wondering if they will ever get their home sold (of course if it is properly staged and priced it WILL sell quickly) or if they will still be on the market by Fall. One thing that any seller should do right now is to take outside photos of their home while the flowers are blooming and the trees are green and leafy.

We did this summertime fun activity with the kids at our church the other night because it makes a great summer activity.  The goal is to be the first team to get the shirt unfrozen, unfolded and on one of the team members. It is harder than it looks!  The frozen ice from the ziplock bags locks the shirts into an ice square that is freezing cold to the touch. The rules are:  You can only use your hands and the ground.  No pavement allowed.  No hitting fence posts, no dipping in water, etc. It took our kids about 20 minutes to get the shirts melted, unfolded and on someone.  They had a blast!   07/11/2010
