Update

What have we been up to lately? Shopping at Lowes...
To prepare our house for the market. Which includes, of course, paint touch-ups. Which bring fumes...which require this uptight mother to evacuate her children and take shelter at Grumpa and Grammy's house. Which makes the children happy. But for when Thing 2 touches Thing 1's trains...
Which happens all too frequently now that Thing 2 has decided she prefers to stand...
But Thing 1 finds forgiveness in his sweet, sweet heart and requires much time with Thing 2 in his lap...
Thing 2 is not quite sure how she feels about all that.

We hope to have the house on the market this weekend. We are terribly anxious for a quick sale as maintaining any sort of clean home with the Things is quite difficult. We have a few more touch-ups we must handle tomorrow, and then we should be picture perfect. It has been a long, stressful two weeks. Now we just have to hit the green light, keep things tidy, finish our loan app (I've already spent two hours on it, but it is so hard to do with the Things around,) and focus on some relaxation with the family. Oh, and Half-Price-Fajita-Wednesdays! (Seriously, I'm obsessed with going to Pappasitos on Wednesdays! Tonight we went, and B had the balloon lady make him a purple T-rex. The mariachi band also played the Barney song for us...weird...what ever happened to La Bamba?) More updates to come, but probably not until early next week.
