Ummm....vacation please!!!

So things are as crazy as ever!
Fred went to Daytona for 1 1/2 weeks for bike week and had a blast. WHILE he was away I get a phone call from our realtor that the builder has come in with a price on the new house. I was grocery shopping and thought I was going to need oxygen!!! Didn't want to stress Fred out while he was away so I decided to start the negotiating on my own. Yikes!!
Two hours later, our lawyer calls and says that we need to get in the office to sign the papers on the sale of our existing house. I explained that Fred was away and he said there wasn't enough time to wait for him to come back, that I should come in on my own and sign everything. O.K. Why not?!!
A few days later, I sign away and then ask if we have until the closing to back out and he says "Um, no. Everything you just signed gives the rights of that house to the buyers as long as they get their mortgage by the said date." O.K., so I had more negotiating to do!!! LOL
We've gotten the price down on the new house some, got an estimate for our taxes (O.M.G.) and talked to the bank again. This week we will negotiate some things that we want included with this final price and then move on.
We have to be out of this house by April 30th and we have been procrastinating on the whole packing deal. Ewww! I did manage to get a couple of boxes accomplished today, but it looks like I got nowhere! This is what we are shooting for:We celebrated my birthday last week and I had a little more fun than usual. Fred and I did some bar hopping, explaining the exhausted look on my face, the following day! Ignore the candles, I am 30 AGAIN!!
Alena is a chatter box and constantly wants to practice counting and her ABC's. Very cute.
She's had a bit of a tummy bug this week, but seems to be doing better.
Sophia and the rest of the Odyssey of the Mind Team did so well in their competition. They got fourth place and we are very proud of all of their hard work!! It was a LONG day that ended with dinner out with the whole team and their families. This is waiting for the judging!



















Lily is spending the night with us tonight! The girls all colored Easter eggs together tonight. They were so cute and did a fantastic job. :)
Tomorrow we are going to Aunt Kaye's annual Easter Eggstravaganza! Hahaha!
Happy spring everyone!!
With Love,
Jenni
