Here are the numbers:

5 days on the market
1 great agent
Hours upon hours, and even more hours of cleaning

This equals... SOLD!

How Big is Your Bed?

It really started with Daylight Savings weekend (are we still doing that???). Larkin started not wanting to go to bed at her appointed time because the sun was still "awake". She wanted to go to sleep when the sun went to sleep. This idea of hers is actually in direct conflict with "I need a night light". There has been several discussions/whining sessions about the night light suggestion.

Anyway, this morning at ohhhhh 3:30 AM!!! she woke up crying/screaming as she sometimes does. I got her some warm milk and put her back to bed. She was looking longingly at the window and asked: "Is the sun awake yet?".
Lia's thoughts: I was like...you only wish.
Lia said: "No, the sun is not awake yet. He's still sleeping".
Then she made a statement only a small child would make that almost made getting up worth it (I said almost).
Larkin said: "He has a big bed doesn't he, Mom?".
Lia said: "Yes", I said, "he has a very big bed".

(Me walking back to my room, smiling and shaking my head, thinking I've got to remind her of that when she grows up)

A Sign of the Times

So, we're feeling like it's time to sell. Our first home, our 'starter' home of almost 12 years is now very cramped with all six of us. It seems like the kids' toys and paraphernalia is like a whole other person or two.
So it became official today and we've got the 'sign' to show it.
Very weird though...thinking about moving your whole life somewhere else.
If it happens- GREAT! If it doesn't... well, let's just say we wouldn't be grossly disappointed to have to stay on our street with the best neighbors and in the best ward a family could have!

CALLE WALKS!!!

My beautiful Calle... just 6 years, 6 months and 15 days and she walks! SUCH A BIG SWEETHEART!

The beach...one of my favorite places!

San Diego's Pacific Beach... Ahhhhhh!

You can see in the night picture, our hotel pool. What you can't see is the side walk just below it, then the beach sand starts. What a location!




















A most wonderful way to spend our 12th anniversary!














Do you like my clearance $6.00 crocs? Perfect beach wear.

Lincoln aka Scooter Man

Sunday afternoon, it was great weather, so we went out to ride bikes. Our friends (next door) were out enjoying the warmer temperatures as well. Lincoln, who is one of the biggest Cars fanatics, commandeered our neighbors little scooter. Wow, he was in heaven! He thought that was THE greatest thing since 'candky' (candy). He couldn't push/ride it so he had us push him all over. And so of course, he screamed bloody murder when it was time to give it up. Poor little scooter man. His birthday is coming up; the birthday fairy will have to be on the look out.

Happy Valentine's Weekend!

I love making sugar cookies for any holiday...oh so yummy! I don't always love the time it takes or the little people try to help. Some how it's all worth it, especially when someone else cleans up (thanks honey!!!)

I must point out Calle's smile... is there anything sweeter??? Happy Valentine's!
