Snow Day #501

If you read my previous post, you will understand why Will and Elana working together to build a snowman by themselves is such a big deal to me:

Snow Day #500

Let me tell you why snow days are hard for us: the first reason is Will and Elana are constantly fighting. Well, that's pretty much it! If it weren't for the fighting, I'd be much happier on these days of delayed/no school. Of course screen time is always a hit with the kids but it usually makes negative behavior more intense so we RARELY do screen time on snow days. (ugh) Today was the first snow day that Colin helped out. We went to the park in the morning for some family + neighbor fun and boy did it wear us out!! After lunch I took a 4 hour nap. Yep. And tomorrow school is cancelled (again).

Selling my gma's house (Take two)

My grandma's house has been on the market since October. It's a rural area and the market has been slow. We decided to make some improvements (based on feedback) to speed up the process:

-re-surfaced kitchen counters, bathroom sinks, tub, and shower
-updated kitchen cabinet hardware
-installed privacy fence
-hired out whole-house staging
-added window boxes to the front

And what do you know, the house just went under contract! :)
