Moving!!

Well, hoping to be! We have officially listed our house and are now just playing the waiting game to see if anyone likes it enough to buy it.

Just getting our house ready to put up for sale was a chore in itself. We bought a storage unit to put some things in to make our house look a little less cluttered and lot more enticing. We thought we'd only have a few things to put in there... now of course its almost full. If you ever want to know how much crap you have, think about moving! It becomes apparent sooner than you'd hope.

I also noticed that I should probably clean our little stove inserts. I debated for a while on how much effort it would actually take to get them to look good and then decided that it wasn't worth it... Do they sell new ones that I can just buy?!?

Moving is definitely not on my top ten favorite things to do, but it is a necessity unfortunately! When we first moved into our house we thought it was huge and had tons of space. Now 2 1/2 years later we are tightly crammed with one additional child and no place to expand.

So... if anyone lives in a cute neighborhood that has any houses for sale by them, let us know! (that would of course entail us living by you though, so think it over!)

The Garners said...: What the crap!? Yes, we have houses for sale. And yes, they're split level 1970's pieces of CRAP! But you would live by us!! It's all about priorities!

And yes, stove inserts...buy away! Pretty sure if I'd clean mine regularly, they'd stay clean. But I'm a crappy housekeeper, and so...every 3 or 4 years...Brand new oven! Yeah! They're totally cheap too. And they come in silver and black. (And the black ones show way less crud...just a head's up!)

Good luck with your house, keep us posted!; September 22, 2008 at 3:44 PM
Mj said...: Moving?! Where to?! The stove inserts that they sell are cheap, like $2 bucks a piece, so definitely worth it! As for how much stuff you realize you have when moving, yeah, we filled a 22 foot moving truck, top to bottom with absolutely no space left for anything else! At least moving helps clean things out a bit! Good luck with selling your house, I know it's a tough market!; September 22, 2008 at 8:52 PM
Shelly said...: Just bail out. I have left a full set of Xmas lights on every house we've ever lived in. I live in kind of a rough neighborhood, some of the neighbors are really sketchy, but you may want to think it over...

Kantos Kan said...: What! You're moving? I need to talk to your people more often than I do. If you need someone to sell your house I can recommend somebody. Some kid I knew in High School. Where are you moving to? Just stay out of Japan. This here is my territory!; September 25, 2008 at 1:17 AM
Sheri said...: There is a darling house right next door. It would be perfect, of course you would have to move to Spokane, but just think of all the games we could play. Dave and I think it is a fabulous idea!!!!!We have a darling neighborhood and the houses are brand new. Good Luck with the selling and the moving!; October 1, 2008 at 11:42 PM

Thatcher Quotes

Thatcher was going to Lagoon with my dad and some of his aunts and as they were pulling into the parking lot he looked at all of them and said, "yeah...I'm gonna need some cash".

So yesterday morning I was wearing my glasses before I put my contacts in and Thatch came in and asked me if I was wearing Daddy's glasses. I said no, these are mine. Then he said, "Are you sure? Because you look like a man in those glasses."

Thatcher was singing to himself in his room and I heard him from down the hall in my room and yelled to him, "Why are you so cute?" He yelled back, "Because you treated me like I was cute!"

I put on a hat to go to the park yesterday and when I went in to get Thatcher he said, "nice hat mom, I never knew you could look so cool".

I went to put his seatbelt on him in the car, and he said he could do it himself. I said, are you sure Thatch? You know how to do that? He said, " watch and learn mom.... watch and learn".

Mat was driving and he asked Thatch how he was doing in the backseat. Thatch replied, "just chillin". Mat said, Chillin like a villain? Thatch says, " That doesn't make sense, villains are bad... they don't just chill!"

Last night while my parents were watching Thatcher, he had to go poop and when he was done he called my brother in to wipe his bum. My brother said, Thatcher I don't know how to wipe bums very well. Thatcher replied " You wipe your own bum don't you?"

At dinner while eating pork chops, he took a bite and said, "Mom what is with the chicken?"

I put a tire back on his toy car for him and after I was done he said "wow mom, that's pretty impressive!"

We were in the Target parking lot and he saw a paper cup in one of the parking stalls. He pointed it out to me and I said, that's not very nice is it? referring to littering, and he looked back at the cup and said sadly, "yeah, poor little cup".
