. . and for almost 8 years. . our home and heart have been here! It's official, the sprucing is done, the clutter is calmed and the sign is up! Seems like yesterday I was 8 months preggo and we were moving in with 2 toddlers - and here we are with a 7, 10 and 12 year old!
This deck has earned it's keep. We have spent a good percentage of that 8 years right here . . . having cozy coupe races in circles, eating dinners, kiddie pools and water hose fights and now to hot tubbin'.
Thank goodness for Dad to the rescue - we needed his picky eye and fix-anything abilities` from paint to plumbing to woodwork! I'm stressed just thinking about it - glad it's DONE! Although, it's not a piece of cake keeping all this "show ready" -- There's not much I can fix about 3 rowdy boys, lots of snow days and luckily LOTS of showings! I mean life does have to go on . . laundry, muddy shoes, pets, cooking, eating and 4 boys who can't hit the toilet . . you get the picture!
**side note - when we show the house (it took me two showings to figure this out!) I put the cat and dog in my car. 1st showing - on way to Rogers - cat POOPS in the car (disgusting smell, let me tell you!). 2nd showing - 2 minutes out of the driveway - cat POOPS in the car. (more disgusting this time!). THEN, we learn when we take to board him last weekend that he was a rescue kitten and was found locked in an abandoned truck at Taco Bell . . how guilty do I feel for being mad at the poor car - who was obviously traumatized by the CAR! We have a new system for Waldo during showings now, thank goodness that got worked out! yuk!
2333 has been a great address for the Pitts family all these years and I know it's going to have the heart of another family soon!
