what with the moving preparation that has to be done.  Dh started his new job on Monday and has decided to stay.  So hopefully we'll move soon -- driving 5 hours a day isn't so fun, especially on snowy roads.  Amazingly, we've already had a tentative offer on the house.  I babysit for a neighbour who lives in this same townhouse complex, but doesn't like the unit she is in.  Hers is a bit smaller (because it has a larger fenced-in yard area) and she has noisy neighbours.  This complex is close to her kids' school -- likely the cheapest places that are walking distance to it, unless you go to an apartment.  And she loves our new kitchen.  If we sold to them, we could avoid the realtor fees.

Today, we mostly just read.  The kids played nicely together, thank goodness.  No tv, but probably more computer than they needed.  They played crazy 8's and yahtzee, lego, and they pretended that they were preparing to blast into space.  I bagged up 9 garbage bags full of clothes, toys, diapers, and other things to go to Value Village.  D helped me make supper while S raided the big utensil drawer for tools so he could "grind his bones to make my bread."
