Things are moving forward around here.

We have had several more showings after a very busy open house.   I have been fighting my phone-phobia and calling all the realtors for feedback.  So far, I have been told the house is “adorable” and “lovely” and “shows beautifully”, which is good to hear.  The only negatives we have received are about things I can’t really fix (big chimney in front of the house, two beds up/two down).

This time around, though, I am not putting everything on hold to focus on house stuff.   We are beginning to look forward to summer.  M has three weeks of school left, but we are already letting the girls stay up later and play outside until they drop of exhaustion.  L would be outside every single minute of the day if we let her.

We did have a minor mishap last night.  M took a header off her bike and landed right on her nose in a neighbor’s driveway.   She was gushing blood everywhere.  ( I had to hose down the driveway, there was so much carnage.)   Strangely, I couldn’t find any open wounds (no scratches on her visible skin).  We stuck some ice on her and she seems to have avoided bruises and black eyes.   She said it doesn’t hurt unless she pushes on it really hard, so hopefully there isn’t any kind of broken bone  or cartiledge.   I also learned that Mr. A is not particularly practical in a bloody crisis.  He was trying to help, but his help wasn’t very helpful.

This weekend is going to be jam-packed with stuff to do.  We have the local Asian festival on Saturday, a friend’s party on Sunday and a parade and neighborhood block party on Monday.

I am already tired just thinking about it.   Have a great weekend!
