Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend was busy! I took Friday off to wash the windows in our house one last time with my Mom. She was up for my Silpada jewelry party so she thought she'd help out!  Thankfully she did because it goes much quicker with two people.

Later on Friday morning, our realtor told us that we had an offer on our house. It isn't even on the market yet but another realtor in his office told one of her clients about it so she came to look at it and loved it. Dave and I chatted about it a bit at lunch and we countered to keep the washer and dryer unless she paid us more for them. We love our Whirlpool washer and dryer and plus, we didn't want to purchase new ones when we moved into our home, we'll have plenty of expenses the way it is.

On Saturday morning, I taught cycling at the Y in Ankeny. Once I got home, the kids played in the bounce house and we cleaned up the house!  It's crazy how busy your week can be and things get a bit messy when the kids feel like they have to drag out every last toy out of their toy box!

Later on Saturday morning, we talked about moving our items back from our storage unit. Since our house was sold, we no longer needed to keep it wide open and spacious. Plus, we hated to pay another $150/month until we move. So we started hauling boxes and after about seven loads, we had everything back in our basement. On Saturday evening, we went to church and thankfully both kids were fairly good.

After church we decided to get groceries at Hy-Vee and grab something to eat. After we got home we realized why we don't go out to eat with little ones - it's a lot of work! Often times, it's easier to stay home. 

On Sunday morning, Dave's sister, Diane came over to watch R-man when we went to meet with our realtor. He wanted to get the paperwork signed for the sale of our home. Little-C wasn't sure about staying with Diane so she came with. Plus, she loves seeing our realtor. The whole way over to the Coldwell Banker office, she kept saying, I go see Colin.

Later on Sunday afternoon, we had friends over. We had a great time and the kids enjoyed the bounce house and swinging. It's always fun to get together with my friends, Bridget, Melissa and Rachel. I'm usually pretty good with capturing photos of all of us but this time I forgot to get a photo of all the girls!
