The house is finally listed. Although we can breathe a little sigh of relief that the bulk of the projects are done, the work is far from over. Isn't this the fun part now? Preparing for showings (if we get any), hoping for offers, hoping inspection passes and all the rest of the joy that goes into selling a house. And don't forget about the fun that goes into buying another house. I don't know why we don't do this more often! It's a whole barrel of monkeys.
Even though we hardly have time to think, eat and breathe (I almost fell asleep into my laundry pile the other night), life still goes on.
Milo continues to be as sweet as ever, volunteering to help whether it's needed or not. As soon as he was caught in the act on this particular day, he stopped feeding her and put the food back on the counter. Ruby started wailing and Milo yelled at her, "No more, Ruby, no more!"
This afternoon, I asked Milo to clear his plate from the table after lunch. "I can't!" he said. "I'm sick!" He looked just fine so I asked him again to do it. "I'm sick!" he said.
And he was right. He came down with a sudden fever not too much later and took a nap next to me on the couch. Once he woke up, he was feeling better but now that bed time is approaching, he is back to saying he is sick. Although he still has enough energy to explain to me how fast the airplanes go in the sky. And he is letting me know what bad words Piper says. "Mom, Piper said stinka butt." And he just put his arm around me and said, "You best friend!" I love my little boy.

Tucker turned five this month! We took him out for a birthday breakfast at the local Mickey D's. He got to indulge in his absolute favorite meal, pancakes!
Every Saturday morning, Avery and Tucker get to go to swimming lessons. I wanted to enroll Avery in the Level 1 class but she was too short so she gets to be in the preschool class. She did say she is the shortest in her class and I hadn't given it much thought until I saw her next to her classmates once. She is short!
Piper comes with me to swimming lessons sometimes and on this particular day discovered the camera on my phone.
And she discovered the art of the selfie. Or partial selfie.
I brought the three eldest and a friend to Pump It Up in Plymouth a few days ago. The kids had an absolute blast, running around for one and a half hours straight.
Tucker was brave enough to try the big slide and when he did an accidental flip at the bottom, he thought it was the greatest thing since the tracks that turn into hills on his train set. I was so proud of him for being brave as he is one of my more hesitant and cautious children.
Piper wasn't impressed with anything the place had to offer. She found comfort in this little car. About fifteen minutes before our time was up, she decided to be brave and try out the obstacle course. When it was time to go, she didn't want to leave.
I'm not sure I'll bring the kids there again, the music was too loud and there wasn't tons for them to do for the price, but the kids loved it. On the way home, Tucker said, "Mom, let's go again for your birthday!" Let's not and say we did!
