Today I am thankful for yummy Mexican food. Silly, I know, but I love Mexican food. We ate at one of our favorites tonight which just happens to be practically right out our back door. It is a one minute walk. I had these awesome quesadillas with chicken, cheese, and spinach in them. Lucy and Annie were so good at dinner, which always makes it extra nice. Thanks for dinner Grandy!

As you can see from the pictures, Lucy got a hair cut this morning. She did so well. No tears or fuss at all. I realize she looks terrified in the picture, but she wasn't. I have always got her hair cut at my place by my girl and she has always hated it. So I broke down this time and took her to a kids' place and she loved it. She got to watch a show and look at some fun things while the lady chopped away. The whole cut took under 5 minutes. I needed to get it shaped up and evened out. She ended up cutting at least 2 inches off. It looks so much better. She has been really pleased with herself all day since we all keep telling her how beautiful her new hair is. Funny girl.

We got so much more done around the house today. Justin and his dad got the garage cleaned out while I worked on all of the marks on the walls, vacuumed the downstairs, and scrubbed the floors. I swear, Magic Erasers really are magic. Lucy was my little helper and Annie napped through it all. I could get almost everything off of the walls. Then Andy replaced two posts on our fence that got torn down and replaced the ceiling fan on our upper balcony. He tacked back a few places where the molding outside had come loose. Andy also unclogged a bathroom sink that has been draining so slowly. I told you, he can do anything and everything around the house. We did have to have a plumber fix a leak, but we were able to do everything else on our own. Justin and his dad are making one last run to Home Depot because one of our smoke detectors is broken and needs replaced. Tomorrow we are doing a few small paint touch ups and then we will be basically done. I will still have some more cleaning to do, but not much. I got our room all cleaned out, dusted, and vacuumed today. It has been a busy day. But I sure do feel productive after a day like this. We accomplished a lot!

We are putting our house on the market to see what happens with it. We have been talking about moving for quite some time, but are ready to make a change now. We love this house, but it is not ideal for a growing family. We want another bedroom for when family comes and more places for the kids to have as their area for toys. Since the housing market is pretty slow right now, we are just going to put the house on the market and wait. We won't worry about finding a house until we know we are getting rid of this one. So, that is our plan for now. We'll see how it goes. I actually really hope our house sells quickly. I like to have a plan in place and this kind of leaves everything in limbo.

Doesn't her hair look precious?


Very focused on something on the floor.




PRECIOUS!




Everybody pet the person or animal next to you.




Has anyone seen Lucy?


Peek a boo.
