Hurdle #2

It's been an exciting week! But, after a bit of back and forth, we've crossed House Hurdle #2. We had the inspection on the new place and worked out what is being done by who. Now, our current house lists on Thursday, showings start on Friday, open house on Sunday, and hopefully a bunch of offers in by Sunday evening! It will make for a real awkward weekend as we try to keep kid and dog out of the house pretty much the entire weekend!! Suzanne has agreed to let us squat at her house. THANK GOD. I don't know what we'd do, otherwise!

We realized that the biggest expenses of this move will be furniture. Since we are, literally, doubling the size of our house, we have get some stuff to fill it! If anyone has unused furniture lingering in your basement, attic, garage - we'll take it! ;-) Once we acquire said furniture, it will be REALLY nice to have a king size bed and a soft couch to lay in front of the fire! We'll get there!!

In other news this week, Wm had a bad fall at recess and bummed up his knee. He keeps limping around like he broke his leg. But, here is what he did:

Major Wound

Wm had a big pizza party at school because he and perfect attendance last semester. He had Little Caesar's pizza and LOVED it. He hasn't stopped talking about it. So Steve is all in a lather because he may now have to eat Little Caesar's pizza! Wm and I are on spring break this week. WOOOOT!!! We're going to party like rock stars!! (By mostly cleaning and staging the house.)

Mimi came over to visit today. Mimi is Flip's most favorite visitor. He knows her car and starts whining and crying the minute he sees it. Then, when she walks in, he tries to lick her entire face off. When he's finished with that, he likes to sit, pressing his entire body up against her. Look at his face:

Happiest dog alive

A friend came and dropped off some moving boxes and Captain Psycho scared her with his insane barking, jumping, and finger nibbling. I gotta work with him on his excitement level. He's still a puppy, really!! But he looks like a maniac.

Steve has been working really hard in the basement and it looks AMAZING. His weekend is pretty much going to be using things known to cause cancer in the state of California to clean and paint and spackle up the basement. But, it will be a showplace!! Steve is a master!
