I can't believe it....

Well, its finally happened....our house is on the market!! We have work so hard to get everything done. Yesterday we walked outside to go to Costco (the bad store)and the lock box and temporary for sale sign were up. Thomas and I briefly panicked because we knew this meant we were going to have to step it up just to keep the house clean and in show condition. Tom and I were both up until around 11:30. There was more vacuuming, moping, folding clothes and putting them away before we could go to bed. We are praying that this process will happen quickly so we can move to Wisconsin!! But, we also know we are on God's time...

I didn't forget.....

After yesterdays little incident, I didn't forget to brush teeth this morning!!

Dental Hygene

So, I was running a little late for work today and all the way out the door, Kevin had to go potty. I grabbed Matt and told Kevin when he was finished to come out to the van. I was strapping Matt in when Kevin comes out in tears. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "You forgot to brush my teeth". So, I finish strapping Matt in, shut the garage door (I didn't want to take Matt out of the car-seat) and took Kevin back into the house. I put him up on the counter and asked if he wanted to brush or if I should do it for him. He wanted me to do it. So, I brushed and he spit! I was 10 minutes late to work today but I didn't mind because it was so important for him to brush his teeth. Once we got to school, I told me that I had to take his picture and makes sure a smile really big so I could see his shiny, clean teeth!

My Little Computer Geek

My little Matthew William is a Computer Geek....maybe it's because I was on the computer so much when I was pregnant, who knows?! But, as soon as he could push the buttons, he's became fascinated!! I don't know how many times he's made my work disappear, you'd think I'd learn to not leave my computer unattended. Before our trip on Sunday, I ran upstairs to grab something and this is how I found him. Me, being the mom, I ran for my camera and left the computer in harms way. I caught him with his little impish grin...this is Matt is true form.

House Hunting Trip

On Sunday morning we packed the van and headed down to the LaCrosse area to start our 1st serious house hunting trip. We looked at four house and the one pictured above is our favorite. Tom and I had seen the house on a differnt trip and thought it was okay, this time we loved it. 2 acres, 3 car garage, 4 bedroom 2 1/2 baths. Lots of room for the kids to play, and there are only 10 houses on the street. So, we have to get our house on the market this week and pray that the house sells so we can make an offer.

Snake Break

So for my afternoon break I went down at got to play with snakes at the daycare. They are a man visiting with all kinds of snakes and lizzard....it was fun. This is Kevin and I holding a mexican albino corn snake.

I break for.....my boys

I love that my boys are at Daycare in my building. I love that I can see them when ever I want. I go to the cafeateria every day at 11am to refill my ice and everyday Matthew is the hall with his friends going for a buggy ride. I get to hold him, kiss him and say Hi to all of his friends. Yesterday was a great day. It was a beautiful Minnesota morning and at 10am I took a break to go an watch Kevin play soccer. On my way, I saw Matt outside playing so I went and hung out with him for a few minutes...even though there was a fence between us, we enjoyed our visit. Next, I was off to go watch Kevin. Once again, I'm the only parent there. I know how lucky that I'll allowed to go for a few minutes to watch. Kevin sees me and then I have to remind him to listen to the coach and pay attention....but they're 4, they are busy looking at bug and taking potty breaks to really play soccer but they still have fun. So, on my way back to my desk, I reminded myself, once we move that I just won't be able to pop in and see the boys when ever I want. So, I'm thankful for the time left here and all the chances I have to see the boys when I want. What a way to spend a break!!
