Hi everyone!

Just thought I'd post an update, since I've been so busy lately. Dh is in Alaska right now on a fishing trip. He won a free trip thru work. He'll be back late Thursday, he's catching lots of fish and really seems to be having a great time.

We just got an offer on the house, not a good offer though. We're going to make a counter offer and see how that goes. This couple still needs to sell their home, so that's not good either! I was really hoping to be doing this move during the summer. Especially to help with all the adjustment and everything.

The boys have been loud and full of energy lately. Today I had to show the house 3 times, so I'm exhausted. Not sleeping well, since dh is gone. Nathan's been really testing his limits lately. Usually when I tell him to stop doing something he stops. Now he just keeps doing it, then apologizes endlessly, and then goes on and on about how I don't love him anymore!! It's exhausting! He's still doing fine in school, so that's good. He's been real OCD around here though!! It's just been so hectic around here, I can't really blame him!!! He's holding it together pretty well under the circumstances. Having to leave the house everytime a realtor wants to show the house....hasn't been easy on him.

We did pick some vegies from our little garden yesterday. He ACTUALLY ate a carrot!!! I was shocked!! Then he grabbed the pea pod....I helped him open it.....then he walked away with it. Then Tyler says, "he put a pea up his nose!" OH MY GOD!!! Why would he do that????? Luckily, I have small hands and fingers. I was able to get it out. Still not sure WHY he did this...guess to see if it would fit?????!!!! Who knows!!!! We've been having lots of mini meltdowns, and he's been irritating Tyler ALOT....wanting kisses, wrestling with him CONSTANTLY, and getting mad if anyone touches ANY OF HIS THINGS. He doesn't even want ME touching his toys!!!! Oh well, just your average day kind of stuff!! LOL I'm sure you all can relate!

Well, I'm tired and I still have to get the boys ready for bath and then to bed. Hopefully I'll get a better offer than this couple gave us (you'd think I'd have more offers considering how many times I've shown it!!!!!)....I'm getting tired of keeping the house clean!!
