Well...
It's almost comical...the immediate reaction to the ultrasound picture of baby #4. If people READ THE BLOG, they wouldn't have been so surprised, for I announced the pregnancy 2 weeks ago!! LOL. It's all good, I don't write in this for other people to read, I write here with the hope that the kids will read it one day, and realize how insanely crazy I am about them...and how insanely crazy they make me.
It's the 2nd day of the first full week of summer vacation. I've set up a routine for us, and so far so good. Jack and Emma live to torture eachother, that's a fact. They do not know how to play separately, and we need to work on that, because they just get on each other's nerves at all times of day.
In the morning after breakfast, we do a lesson. We talk about the weather and what day of the week it is. We sing a few songs, and play some word association games. Then it's play/art time. Outside time will fill in that slot once the weather makes up it's freaking mind (first it was sweltering, then monsooning, and now it's 66 degrees and windy). We are looking to play once a week activities (cheap!) to get them out of the house, and to provide them with some sort of memory of this summer.
The house is still for sale. No bites at all. To say it's frustrating is putting it mildly. I don't know what's more frustrating, the fact that no one wants to buy it, or the cleaning routine that takes place whenever we have a showing. My house is trashed on the daily, and I can get it somewhat presentable at the end of the day. But, for a showing, it has to be presentable, and that takes a days notice, at least. It's just so hard, with the 3 amigos running around (well, 2 running, one crawling very quickly) to get things in order. I just wish someone would come in tomorrow and fall in love with it and make a reasonable offer so we can move on. We just want to buy a new house and MOVE ON. We LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it here! I cannot stress that enough, but 5 soon to be 6 people in this tiny 2 bedroom townhouse? It's just not cutting it anymore.
Oh well, I will be posting a bunch of times over the next couple of days to get caught up. I have to write about Jack's graduation and his 2nd of 4 birthday parties!!
