Mothers Day

My Mothers Day was very low key.  I got sweet cards from my girls that they made at school, and a beautiful long stem rose at the drive through line at Chick-fil-A.  I got to treat myself to a pedicure and manicure too.  There was no big party or gathering this year.  We went to a baptism on Sunday for some friends of ours, and just enjoyed the weekend as a family.  It was nice to not be too busy.

Under Contract!

It has been exactly one week.  We've had 20 showings, and two offers.  The first offer came in last Sunday, on day 2 of showings.  But it came in offensively low, so we passed.  We got our second offer today, and it is a full asking price offer!  Yippeee!!  Now we are on to the inspection process, oh and finding a house for us to live in.  Fortunately, we were able to push our closing date out to 7/25, so we have some time.

The house also got painted this week.  It looks great!

I am so relived not to have to do showings anymore.  Seriously!  Showing a house with small children is not fun.  I do not recommend it.  It is hard enough to keep my house presentable on a day to day basis, and this week I've had to keep it looking like a magazine.  It has been way to stressful, and I definitely nominate myself for the "Bad Mommy of the Week" award.

In other happy news this week...  Nora has become quite the dare devil, and has no fear.  This was her at the grocery store on Tuesday.  She about gave me a heart attack.  Aren't you glad I took this picture before rescuing her?  Buckles ain't got nothin' on this girl, and I am in so much trouble!

Also, I'm 14 weeks along with Spud.  I feel like I'm 20 weeks along with how big I'm getting.  Taking bets on when the not so kind or thoughtful looks and comments start in public. Ya know, because I'm pregnant and have 3 little ones already.  And for some reason, this causes people to make funny faces at you and throw in their two cents about my family size.  As if my family size really affected them...  Moving on...  I'm feeling good and my nauseousness is dissipating.  My energy is coming back too.  Just in time, because I think its going to be a very busy summer.

Nora's Sink Bath

We finally got around to getting Nora a bath... er, um a sink bath at Ma & Pa's house.  She did not have as much fun as her sisters did when they got their baths, but we did get some cute pictures of her.

FOR SALE

The house is officially on the market!  We have showings being scheduled for the entire weekend, and we plan to keep ourselves busy with several parties, and some much needed family time.  All the while, keeping our fingers crossed that the right buyer comes along very soon.

I put together this little flyer about our home and the neighborhood for potential buyers to take with them.

The photos of the house turned out amazing!  I recently found the CD of pictures from the realtor that listed our home when we bought it.  I thought it would be fun to do some comparison.  We really have done a ton of work to the house.
