Back in the Saddle Again

What have we been up to this past week...an update is in order..

D: Busy, busy, busy with buyers and sellers. True, there is a 14 (or is it 19) month supply of houses on the market here, but the right house at the right price sells quickly. Case in point, he was shopping this week with a client who has lost out on 2 houses to other offers, only to find (and secure!) the 3rd one today. Hers wasn't the only offer though. There is hope! D also has a great new listing~check out his website for details. Oh, and Coach Dave will be assistant coaching Nate's t-ball team. He's been waiting 6 years for this.

K: Busy, busy, busy with boys! I decided to try out spinning class at the gym this past week. Monday - Sore bum, sore legs but pretty fun. Instructor was every educational, gentle. Wednesday - getting better. I can get the hang of this. Will I ever get used to the saddle? Friday - holy cow! What a difference an instructor makes. I think this one had ex-boyfirned issues!
;-) My teeth were sweating. On the plus side, I was too exhausted to worry about the saddle!
D and I got to work on our backyard garden, dubbed by a different client of D's as our Eco Chic Garden. I think the just might stick! Found out more than I ever wanted to know about Dairy Compost. Poop seems to fascinate my family, why not cow poop as well?!? We've got a big learning curve ahead of us, but looking forward to seeing how we fair as farmers. Nate wants to have a veggie stand rather than a lemonade stand this summer. Spread the word! ;-)

N: Back to school. Good to see friends again. Started reading a fun series of 'chapter books' called "Nate the Great" and thinks he over the moon that he gets big kid reading alone time before bed (but really, it is mom who is over the moon about this!) Started baseball/t-ball on Saturday. Green is the uniform shirt color so he is carefully contemplating the team name. Spent hours and hours in the sun yesterday and today and is already sporting a tan face and neck. (where as Ian and I look only slightly less white - let's call ourselves eggshell....)

Ian: Got to have big boy lunch date with Grandma where she picked him up from school and let him chose the restaurant. Good stuff! Even talked her into some candy and bunny ears from the store after! Discovered that the best part of going to the library may just be self check out. Who knew scanning bar codes could be so fun (guilt from mommy, I am NOT a great library goer - but the economy and a thirsty 6 year old reader has me reconsidering.) 2 play dates, karate and many, many practice egg hunts.
And Ian wants EVERYONE to know that he ate 10 peas over spring break.
And almost as important, Nate only ate 3.
(Na na na naaa naaaaa.)
