New Babysitter

Oops, I meant new washing machine. She's been sitting there watching it for at least 20 minutes. Every time it stops, starts or adds water, she looks at me and says "oh?" . 

Moving Madness

We had to say goodbye to the house Jeff and I were married in (literally in the backyard), my kids have spent their whole lives in and where 8 years of memories have been made. Our house sold after 36 hours on the market, for full asking price, woohoo! We bought a foreclosure that needs A LOT of work and had 11 days to move out. We moved in 4 hours with the help of some awesome family and friends.  It was quite a bit more difficult than the last time we moved sans children. Our new house is twice the size of our old one and the neighborhood is fantastic (walking distance to an excellent elementary school, city pool, library, park and tennis courts are all within walking distance). My most favorite thing about our new house is the sidewalks! The girls had no where to play and ride bikes in our old house with no side walks and our steep driveway. We're super excited for summer and lots of pool time. We're just hoping we have doors on the bathrooms by then. The previous owners literally stripped the house of everything (doors, sinks, faucets, stair spindles, light fixtures, etc). We have a lot of work ahead of us, but good thing I married Mr. fixit. We're super excited and so far we love our new house (aka The Money Pit). I'll post some before and after pictures soon!
