So.... we have really slacked on this lately. Let's start at the very beginning (a very good place to start). End of September led us into the never ending realm of house hunting and selling. We started off with a weekend of having to vacate our house 4 times on a Saturday so that our house could be shown to potential buyers. Getting a house ready for buyers is an exhausting process of cleaning, organizing, de-cluttering, making things smell good, and then getting out as fast as possible. Here are some of the pics of our house we used on zillow.com.
It took us a little while to find a buyer, but after dropping our price $10,000 (down to what was actually reasonable......hey why not try for higher at first right....) we got an offer. We had put in offers at multiple places before, but they were not accepted since we didn't have a buyer for our house yet. Now that we had a buyer our offer that weekend was accepted. Here is our new house (hopefully...planning on closing on Tuesday, fingers crossed).
It's 600 sq feet larger and has a bigger kitchen and an extra bedroom :)
It's on the other side of town in the better school district, so we are excited!!
September also brought Aiden's 6th birthday.
October brought us Halloween and Ryan's 37th birthday. (Sorry Ry....we didn't love you enough to capture it in photos) We did however capture the kids and the pumpkins in photos like good Americans. Enjoy!
Dress up for school. Aiden is Darth Vader, Zoey is a Zombie Ballerina, and Teresa is one of the guys from Go Noodle (a web site with brain breaks I use in class daily). Here are the pics from actual Halloween night:
Other than that, our family has been plagued with a bout of pink eye for everyone except Ryan, and our latest struggle of strep throat, again for everyone except Ryan. I guess there is something to his claim that he is "The Wolverine".
The kids are doing well at school. Teresa has a pretty good group of 31 Kindergarten students this year, and Ryan is adjusting to teaching 4 days a week (finally got an extra class....hooray). On to our next adventure........MOVING!!! UGH!!!!
