We moved in December, is it really possible that it's March already? I still have boxes of stuff that need to be unpacked. I'm seriously thinking about just having a yardsale with them because I obviously don't NEED what's in them.
We're still trying to sell the house. Monday our realtor called and the same people who submitted an offer last week wanted to re-submit it this week. Last week they started at $18,500 less than the list price, and after all of the negotiating they had come up in price a whopping $5,000. After all of that they still wanted us to pay their closing, repairs, and buy them a home warranty. We came down as much as we feel is acceptable, and gave them our lowest offer again yesterday so we'll see what happens. I'm actually getting annoyed with them, but I would love to sell the house.
We found the kids a pediatrician finally! One that went to medical school in this country, and not Belize. (I know that may sound a little nuts, but I had a bad experience with the first doctor I took Ethan to.) They saw her yesterday and she assured me that Ethan's stiffening/holding his breath until he passed out fits are perfectly normal for a 2 year old. Ethan also got the second dose of his flu shot, which surprisingly, didn't make him cry. He whimpered just a little, but then she put on a SpongeBob Band-Aid and he was fine! Just like every other time they get a shot, I took them to WalMart to pick out a toy. After looking at ALL of the stuff in the store, he decided on a $1 bag of plastic coins with the Easter stuff.
Abby asked to eat lunch at Wendy's because she hasn't had Wendy's since we moved. My kids are so strange. :) It was nice to get to explore in a new direction. Their doctor is in Eunice which is south/southeast of where we live. And on Saturday after Abby's soccer game we're going to go to Lake Charles and explore over there as well. Matthew has an eye appointment there, and we'll have a few hours to waste so that should be fun.
We had Matthew's parents and nephew here last weekend, and on the 21st we're expecting his aunt and uncle to come down. It's actually nice to have regular visitors, especially when they don't stay an entire week! But if someone wants to come and see me for a week, bring it on!
And while I'm not going to use these for Easter, I still LOVE them. I did find some baskets at Michael's and I'm thinking about making liners for them....we'll see if I get around to that.
