Sunday 11/8: Due to Grace's fever we stayed home from church. Gary left to go golfing with my dad shortly before naps. Tyler had a meltdown because he wanted to go, he was afraid of starting Kindergarten because he can't write all his letters, and he was crying that his party was on the wrong day because he's still four. I begged him to PLEASE nap so he'd feel better and not so crabby for his birthday. My mom arrived about 2:30 and we got to visit while the kids napped and finished getting the house cleaned up. We left a little after 4 to go see a house that was open in Alliance. We've looked at it several times and kept feeling like it was meant to be it'd still be up for sale. Since my parents were in town and it was open we headed over only to find out that it was NOT open! Someone called the realtor for the home though because he came and let us see it... I liked it more, Gary liked it less. Turns out there was another offer going in Monday so if we wanted it we had to "act fast". Upon discussion we decided to let this one go as it was not in the location we wanted. We'd really like to be closer to the school we're sending Tyler to. We got back to the house and ordered food from Grinders and we let Tyler open his presents while we waited on the food. Then while everyone ate, I fed Esther, then we did cake and ice cream and visited a little and the grandparents headed for home. Tyler got snow pants, the train Proteus, Legos, some Cars vehicles, a Cars launcher, and a fish! It's good to turn 5!!
Monday I'm sure we did something but I can't remember what.
Tuesday we went to see another house that is in the perfect location but small. We liked it enough to consider making an offer so we made plans to see it again Wednesday with Gary's dad to look at the details. Wednesday's showing wasn't at all what we expected. We saw the house and the owners where there and it was just overall a very strange experience... very strange...
Wednesday night was also a nightmare as far as sleeping goes. Esther doesn't have the jaundice anymore so she's eating better and not sleeping as much. This also means it's harder to get her to go to sleep, especially on her own. Somehow we've gotten ourselves in a situation where she needs to be in her seat, held, and have a pacifier to fall asleep. this is NOT GOOD!! She slept very little all day Wednesday, and very little all night. Now it's Thursday and she cried through one nap. We're on our second nap and she's quiet but keeps making noises up there. Thankfully she's at least in her own bed and resting. I'm pretty sure she's sleeping and the noises are just her transitioning through sleep cycles but i'm afraid to go check! Every time I check on her something wakes her up (most likely increased downstairs noise) and she sees me and screams.
So even though this house seems wonderful in so many ways, it's still small, and probably not the best time to be moving or making these kinds of decisions. We're just a little to strung out and sleep deprived! We're not sure yet, but I don't think we'll be making an offer. At least not today.
Last but certainly not least:
