Why oh why does anyone attempt the dreaded Chuck E Cheese. Bo had told Olivia we would go so finally last Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. we headed up there. The whole way I was steaming thinking the kids should be taking their baths and getting ready for bed but no- Olivia begged enough that he gave in to go that late!!!! So, then I was thinking- with it being almost 8 by the time we got there it wouldn't be so busy-WRONG AGAIN!! It was packed. But we go and the kids have fun, but don't try to play the good ticket games- there are people that just stay at that particular game ALL NIGHT- sooo annoying. They are adults, one was a grandma. I almost said something but we all know how easily embarrassed my hubbie would have been. Then as the night went on, Olivia started asking when was she gonna see Chuck E, so I took her up front and asked when he was coming and the kid says "Chuck E is very tired and has gone to bed" ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Olivia was so upset, she broke down right there, which did not make daddy happy but she had the right to be upset- why would that stupid mouse just not come out for 10 minutes, thats all it would've taken!! Oh well, we proceeded to play a few more games then turned our tickets it for cheap prizes and left. It was about 10 p.m by the time we got home-aghhhh!! But the kids did go right to bed and slept all night. But I am dreading the next time we go, cause now we have to to go see that mouse!!!! I'll be glad when its nice enough weather to go to the parks where its free.

Here we went to the park on Monday, the beginning of a beautiful week. I brought the kids to the salon and gave Billy a haircut. Then I took them to the park. They love to go play. And as we were there, Olivia's very best friend showed up with her school. Her name is Kaitlynn. She is just a doll. Olivia knows her from when she went to school there. The two of them were inseperable so it was very hard to seperate them but we didn't have a choice. So, every now and then we see her and its so cute, they run into each others arms and hug and squeal!! Brings a tear to my eye everytime. I hope they are friends forever.

Just found out that the house we went and looked at appraised at $310,000!!! And they are asking $335,000 so that is good news for us b/c now we know more of what we have to work with. They will never get over $300,000 for that place and they also have their camper and boat in the yard for sale so maybe they are desperate--we will see!! I am going to go look at another house real quick, just drive by that has gone for sale so atleast we are headed in the right direction!!
So many of you know that we went and looked at a house the other day, yes, it is absolutely beautiful. They have definetly taken care of the place. But they are asking a very steep price for it and it just isn't exactly what we want to spend that kindof money on so we have decided to wait and either see if they will come down in price or see if anything else comes up for sale. I'll keep ya posted though.

Ok- so don't freak out yet!! But we are going to look at a house this weekend:)!!!! I am sooo excited. It is quite a bit more than I thought we would spend but hopefully we can get them to come down on price. It is a very nice 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath w/ a full finished basement. It sits on 3 1/2 acres. It is a newer house, I think about 7 yrs old. Right down the street from the farm which is obviously a big seller but I think I figured out what caught Bo's attention the most- it has a 30 x 40 Morton Barn on it which is about a $40,000 barn. I think! Anyway, I'm not gonna think too much into it but the fact that we are even going to look at it is great. So wish me luck- also, I have a client that wants to rent our house - NOW!! So, we really don't have to worry about that b/c I don't think Bo wants to sell it so this works great. Again, trying not to get too excited but we'll see!!!

Our first 70' day!!! The kids just stayed outside all day. Well, we were kindof lazy in the morning, then I cleaned our glider that seems to get every stain on it. Then we had swim lessons and went home. The kids played outside in the sand box forever. Billy drug every toy out of the barn to play with so that was fun to clean up, then they went to the farm the rest of the night. It was great for them to be outside. Its amazing how there is little fighting or demanding. Makes my life alot easier. I even scrubbed the carpets in my car while they played. Never thought it could look that clean. Chocolate does come up!! Now it is ready to sell-no, I don't know when that'll be, but it will be soon:) I am very excited to venture on to a bigger vehicle. The blazer has been great but its time to mini van it-YEAHHH!! Never thought I would say that, and Bo said we could even look at some SUV's if I wanted but I don't want to have to lift a baby seat up into an Suv. I don't know-we'll see.
Oh and by the way- that 70' weather is gone and it is raining and possible chance of snow in a couple of days!!!!!!!
