So, we're officially on the house hunt. We've got a few minor things to do on the house that are scheduled for tomorrow and then the house goes on the market. SCARY and EXCITING! The idea of cleaning this house to make it presentable is overwhelming though... I mean I keep it pretty clean and all, but people actually look in your closets and stuff. And, I have 3 kids, one of which is known to horde weeks of dirty clothes, towels and candy wrappers in his closet! Not to mention that pit at the bottom of the stairs we call a basement - who wants to clean that?!?
One main goal of the new house is to get everyone their own bedroom. After 5+ years of sharing, the boys are ready for their own space... or so they tell me. Funny thing is, Ryder can't sleep alone!
Case in point: Saturday night Wyatt spent the night with his friend Trevor. Ryder suddenly had a strong desire to sleep in Piper's room when it was time for bed. Keep in mind he has a pretty strong aversion to her room because it's pink and brown, and as we all know "pink is a girl color"! However, he ended up camping on her floor in his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sleeping bag. Just before they went to bed I said to Ryder "What will you do when you have your very own room and it's bedtime?" To which he replied "I don't want to talk about that."
Overheard at our house:
Piper (talking to the cat): Jack, you're like the brother I never had.
She only said that because Jack doesn't sleep on her floor in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sleeping bag!
