I have to tell you that I am like most "normal" people...I hate to clean! Especially dust or polish. :-) But I now have all the wood in this house (trim, doorways, and cabinets) polished with wood polish. They look really good! I also cleaned the carpet this morning before we headed to the free movie at the theater. So now that is done. Just regular cleaning to do tomorrow before 7pm so not that big of a deal.
Hopefully I will get to scrap atleast one page tonight. I just got my order of 100 photos from Shutterfly. The company I work for gave each of it's employees 100 free photos from there. I love working there! I wish I could work more hours but alas right now that just doesn't work out.
Off to relax a little bit and then head to the gym to meet Matt. Oh yea I should feed the kids at some point too. :-)

Well Moving Along...
Well we went looking at some houses yesterday with a realtor and only liked really one of them but not the lot it sat on. But atleast we know after talking to her that there are options out there for us. Now to see what our house is worth or they think it is worth. They will be coming over Thursday night for us to talk and discuss things. So I am slowly cleaning stuff that is not on the "normal" list for cleaning. Such as windows sills, pledge some stuff (I rarely do this...I know not always good.) and making sure the tile in our bathroom is all polished back up. Just not stuff we would normally worry about but we want the most we can out of this house. It's so wierd to think we might be selling this house and getting a new one. It will be interesting to figure it all out. I am pretty sure there will be ups and downs the whole time but hey atleast we know we are not in a rush and want to find what we really want...unlike the last time we went house hunting and had to find a house in 3 days. I say we did really well with this house.
Okay off to clean some more before meeting M at the Y to work out tonight.

Attitudes!
Okay our little E is getting somewhat of an attitude. She likes to voice her opinion very well and it's driving me a little batty sometimes! She even got in trouble with M today (he is working from home) when she told me not to yell at her. ugh!
Today we (the kids and I) are busy in the garage cleaning up out there. There was winter stuff to go up in the attic and then fan and wagon to get out of the attic. Now to get some hooks up to hang up the ladder that my dad bought us around christmas time...which I am loving dad! Very easy for me to use and now I can get in the attic w/o waiting for M. Which he likes very much b/c I am shorter and can fit up there better. :-)
M is working from home today. He right now works about one day a week from home. Hopefully in about a month he can start working up to 4 days a week from home. He is very excited about this. Will help with gas and mileage on the subaru. (Will also be nice for taxes.)
We have also decided to look and see if there are any houses out there that we could afford with what we want in it. We are going to be picky this time since the last time we had to find a house and sign papers w/in 3 days! Sunday we are going to go look at our first ones but don't think they are quite what we want but will look and give the realtor a better idea of what we are thinking. If we do find there are ones out there that we can/do want then we will be putting this house up for sale. But we shall see since we just want to take it easy and find what we want for the price we want. We know we could get another couple of years out this house if need be so not in a huge rush...which is nice.
Well time to feed the kids some lunch. Have a wonderful weekend!

Pool Time
Well come to find out the kids won't be the only one in the pool this summer. It's a good thing we have this type of pool otherwise we would have lots of holes. Nimi is loving running around the yard and then through the pool. I think I need to find some place to hang some towels near the back door this summer!

Okay I have a ton of pictures to load so going to just load pictures with captions. You will see N's kindergarten graduation, E's dance recital, and N's birthday party pics. Which we are all very tired by tonight! Especially mommy and daddy. :-) It will be an early night for all of us!
Not the best picture...all pictures in that gym always turn a little
blurry or dark. This is the whole class. Then the next picture is of N and his teacher.
This picture is the greatest. I think E learned alot from dance but next time (if there is a next time) I
would put her in a "real" dance class. Aren't the tutu's great!
So as you can see N had a water birthday party. It was great fun. Before all the kids showed up M had to show N how to use the slip n slide. I was inside and laughing the whole time. I loved watching them do it together. I think M had as much fun as N did. The waterballoon fight was fun to watch. It took forever to fill them up and they were gone in not time. Seemed like everyone ganged up on N. S and one other mom helped get some of the other kids. :-) One neat present was some tadpoles from one of the girls. There are 3 in the picture. N thinks they are neat but I think S thinks it's neater. :-) Look at how big they are!!! I had never seen tadpoles this big before! Then this morning I was out talking on the phone with my sister and this is what I saw.
Not ready to really go anywhere but cool to see. Okay off to feed the hungry and get everyone into bed on time tonight! Plus hope everyone sleeps through the night!!!!!! Atleast for mommy's sake. :-)
