Beautiful, Wonderful house update.

One of bids was accepted. YAY! The house is the same floor plan as the very first house we bid on. Super cute floor plan with a ton of potential. We sign papers tomorrow and put 1% down. I'm so excited. =)

Here it is!

Pretty baby

A certain little girl climbed from the ledge of the bathtub onto the bathroom vanity today to "Do her make up." =) She was quiet for like 5 minutes before I decided I should go investigate. Eye shadow everywhere!

Trigger finger

I took Alexis to the Doctor today for her "tricky" thumb as she likes to call it. It's stuck at a 45 degree angle, it has been since she was 2. He said it's trigger finger and she'll have to have surgery to fix it. It's supposed to be no big deal and it's "routine surgery" but ya know? no surgery is routine when it's on your own kid. I'm going to try to plan it between pre-school being let out and Kindergarten starting. That way she'll be all set to start cutting with scissors and writing. He also said it's hereditary! And duh! wouldn't ya know! my mother in law just had surgery on her hand for trigger finger! Hmmm!

Alexis

We're driving down the road, the sun is out, the windows are down and Jimmy Buffets "Margaritaville" is playing on the radio...

Alexis: "Turn the radio off! I can't stand it! I can't stand this song!"

Me: "What?? This is a great song!"

Alexis: "Turn it off! I can't take it!"

Me: *Turn the radio down* "Why???"

Alexis: "It just makes me want to go to the beach soooo bad!"

Me...... That's my girl. =)

Two new houses. Two new bids. A whole array of emotions. A whole new level of stress.
