Happy Saturday.

I ran out of photos. I'll need to see if I can figure out how to upload the gymnastics shot today from my phone. I posted it on Facebook but that upload to Blogger isnt an option that I've looked into yet.

All is well as usual, kids are busy and happy and Mommy/Daddy are tired of not having our "stuff". As for housing updates, well, no fabulous news there yet. The yellow house we closed our escrow acct, gave up on them. The pink house is being stubborn. Suddenly the 2nd loan isn't being approved and the negotiator was being a jerk to the seller. Apparently as of a few days ago there has been a new negotiator assigned to the case,but whatever, we aren't hopeful anymore.

We did however put an offer on another house, this one is yellow too. Same neighborhood as the previous yellow one but just more expensive,bummer. It does however have a four car garage, that makes Daddy smile. It's also a short sale, again no private sales are being listed these days. It's in a new government program though, supposed BofA will answer back within 10 business days because they started the short sale process before listing it. However, the seller's agent said even though BofA is participating in this new program to get short sales process quickly, they aren't guaranteeing a quick turn around. How they can get around this, I don't know? So we'll continue to live in our happy little apartment with our sparse belongings.

Kids have been busy having playdates with various friends, Luke, Jonathan, Dane, Abby, Lexie, Ryan, Siri and Kade. As well as continuing their August summer camp program. Soccer will start up next month, as well as swim lessons. Kenna is doing gymnastics and loves it, she's soooo cute to watch. Preschool starts up in a couple of weeks and I'm so looking forward to that. Having a huge block of time in the mornings to myself is going to be so nice, nice break. They're both doing really well with the potty training. They can go by themselves although Deegan whines and says he can't do it. He's referring to pulling down his own shorts and big boy underwear. He pees either standing up or sitting down, either way works and he does well. We made a "poop chart" and that has been working too. As well as the threat, "you can't poop in your underwear if you want to go to school". Knock on wood, no accidents yet. They get a sticker and two Jelly Belly's for pooping on the toilet. They both do it and love getting their stickers. Kenna always says, "No Mommy, I can do it by myself!". She doesn't want me near her when she has to use the bathroom. I have to be close though because she hasn't figured out how to not unroll the whole roll of toilet paper. I'm worried one of these times she's going to clog the toilet with all of it. We're trying to teach her how many squares she can have to wipe. Okay, so this might have all been too much information? But this is our life for now.
