Wow.  I missed the entire month of March without posting once.  Bad, bad, bad.

But I have a good excuse!  Really!  We've made the decision that my kids have outgrown both our house and my parents' house.  Therefore we've decided to fix up and sell my parents' house.  They are going to move into our house (upgrade!) and we are going to buy a new, bigger house (upgrade!).  We have spent nearly every evening and every weekend cleaning, sorting, boxing, tearing out, fixing, painting... ugh!  But we're almost done now.  We hope to have the house in market condition by the 15th.  Wish us luck! 

And by the way, if you're looking for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath house with a shady yard, 10 x 12 storage shed, greenhouse / potting house, very convenient and close to everything in Fort Walton Beach - you know who to ask!

Since we've been gone from sunup to sundown every day, our critters are feeling mighty neglected.  Their depression is palpable.  I can't wait until I have free time to go to the dog park again.  They deserve it.

Speaking of critters, my parents' cat Fluffy is staying with us.  With the new carpet in the bedrooms, we all agreed it would be best.  Everyone but Fluffy that is.  He's been in our house 4 days, and has spent almost the entire time under my bed.  This morning I found him in the kids' room, so that's an improvement.  I don't think Connor realized Fluffy was in our house!  He was very excited to see Fluffy this morning, and gave him a big hug.  Seeing the kids helped Fluffy too, I think.  He likes them. 

Hopefully it won't be so long until you hear from me again... crossing fingers!
