Ok, keeping a house perfect every day is not fun. That's what we've been doing. Our house went on the market a week ago Friday, and we've had 9 showings, two no-shows (grr) and one open house. We have one really interested couple who has visited three times. We're hoping they make an offer this week so I can stop living in a unrealistically clean house.I mean, I know that real people (us included) use things like coffee makers, toaster ovens, and dishracks every day so I don't know why we have to put them away, but I understand the "openness" feeling one's house has to have. It's just annoying! So wish us luck...
During yesterday's open house we went with our good friends Heather and Jeremy to visit our "hopefully soon to be" house just down the road. I'm not going to share all the pictures I took (of the entire house) because I don't want to jinx us. However, here are a few that give you a feel for the neighborhood. It's a Charleston style neighborhood and every house is a different color (some pretty wild like flamingo pink, lavendar, brick red, navy blue, etc.) The one we want is baby blue with black plantation shutters. It has a double porch as well as a screened in porch. The neighborhood has 9 acres of walking trails, a playground, and a really big clubhouse and pool. Boy, would I use that pool....
That first picture is my friend Heather and her daughter on the rocker on the upstairs porch. Such a nice view. All we need is a glass of "swate tay" and a good book :)
Ava played in the current owners' play room the whole time we walked around the house. New toys are always an adventure. Unfortunately, this will be our office (no playroom) if we move.
This is Ava walking towards the playground which is a just a 3-5 min walk from the house.
Ava and Sienna were very proud of the sticks they found.
More of the playground. It's very kid friendly.
We're finally home. Ava was pooped from all her playing, so we sat on the couch eating apple and letting her watch her favorite show "Pooh!"
