Crossing our Fingers

We are crossing our fingers for many things. I am potty training Drew this week. Crossing my fingers it is successful. At the same time, I am going to give our puppy, Mia, more attention this week and work on her potty training. Crossing my fingers it works! Just listed our house for sale on a few websites. Crossing my fingers our house gets better exposure than just craigslist. If not, I have some decisions to make. Got a new tutoring student and crossing my fingers she is great! Crossing my fingers my husband will finally get his to do list done tomorrow or Tuesday! And finally, crossing my fingers that Kylee's stomach will learn to digest solid food. I had to take her off rice cereal because she started to throw it up after a week. It will be a week on Tuesday since I stopped giving it to her and going to try oatmeal. I hope it works because she just isn't being satisfied with milk only these days! Lots of crossing my fingers and hoping to have good luck!

It's Official

Our house is officially up for sale. Click here. Man, am I glad this day finally arrived. Ryan and I both have killed ourselves trying to get things done. We still have a few more things to do but the majority of the To Do List is completed. I have to take a few more pictures tomorrow because the sun was setting and giving me too much shade in the front yard. Anyways, we decided to list it on Craigslist and if we don't get any action, we will list it with a realtor. We need all the money we can get for a bigger house so we are hoping to sell it ourselves, but we will just have to wait and see!

Busy Busy Busy

Yes, we still are alive! I have been busy getting projects done around the house and the kids got colds again last week. Kylee's cough sounded horrible Saturday so we didn't go to church because it always seems to get worse when we do go. Last week I scrubbed our cabinets, cleaned out the laundry/storage room and painted it, made Kylee's curtains (finally), and put tile in the 2 bathrooms and storage room. Man, we have been so sleep deprived, going to bed past midnight but I am hoping things calm down now. The tile just got completed yesterday and I am so in love. Anyone need tile installed, I got you covered! This week I am working on super cleaning my whole house so we can put our house up for sale on Friday!!! We know it is not the best time to sell right now, but what is the worse that can happen, you take it off the market? So we are testing the waters and seeing what happens. That is why we are killing ourselves these days with all these projects. But if we end up not selling our house, then alot of my projects that I have been trying to get done for 4 years now, will be done!

Last week was a first for Kylee...I fed her cereal. She wasn't sure about it but didn't do too bad. The next time I fed her I made the mistake and showed her the bottle and she didn't want anything to do with her cereal. So now, we hide the bottle until the cereal is eaten. She is doing really well and I am glad to see she has no side effects with cereal. Next week we are starting vegetables, so cross your fingers. Normally, I don't start feeding my kids solid food until 6 months but my pediatrician and I are worried she might have some food allergies so I am starting her at 5 months so if she does have problems, I can address them at her 6 month appointment. Did you catch that statement...Kylee is 5 months!!! Man is she growing. She loves to roll all over the floor and thanks to Ryan's co-worker, loves her jumperoo. That will be another post. I bet she starts scooting here soon!

Her red hair is finally starting to come in!

So keep your fingers crossed that we can sell our house so we can get a bigger house. The hard part is keeping it clean but I think I can handle it now. I just need to get to bed before midnight!
