hard @ work

these are some pictures from last weekend at our house... things are really turned upside-down! but e is enjoying the process... he was enthralled by his daddy's hammering and after watching for a minute he ran to get his own hammer and went to town -pounding away...
andrew was working on framing a closet around our washer and dryer in the garage -- one of the many projects we have going to get our house 'market ready'... we have a PODS unit sitting in our driveway that we are filling with most of our belongings not absolutely neccesary for everyday life. we have a darling house that we want to showcase to it fullest potential, so we are trying to get the closets half empty and the toys out of sight... not an easy job!

our goal is to list our home on the market by oct. 1st... we'll see how that goes. we are hoping to stay in the same area, just find a larger home that will last us a good ten years or so...we may have to move out a bit to make that happen though...

in the meantime wish me luck!

ps. oxyclean spray left on grout for a few hours then scrubbed can work wonders on your kitchen floors--- but beware, it takes a multitude of rinses to get all the suds up!

I did not know that ya'll were looking for a new home. That sounds very exciting (and stressful). Soon I will post the taco soup recipe. It's one of my favorites. Let's get together soon.

How cute that ELB imitates Andrew with the hammer! Smart boy! Hope you're feeling energetic and that the house project is coming just as you hope.

lb- lets definately get together... andrew would love a football buddy, so maybe we could all get together to watch the tigers play... we finished packing our pod today so that is a big thing off our list!
