Nick's Birthday Party

Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day. Warm, sunny, with a light breeze. Luckily for Susan who bravely hosted about 18 kids and 19 adults at her place for Nick's 4th birthday party. It was a very happy affair with all the kids running and playing out in the sun.

The spirit hit me too and soon I found myself engaged in a pirate battle where I was the prey. A rowdy band of pirates chased me all over the yard until one of them ultimately caught and slayed me. (Note the paper airplanes in the twp pics below, courtesy of Grandpa, who had just left with Grammie prior to the party).




Once I was down, I had to rely on Pip and Vivie to kiss me and bring me back to life. Luckily, they both had my back.





We left the party a bit after two in time to swing by two open houses. I was skeptical, because honestly we've not seen much to speak of over the last four weeks and what we have seen is quite expensive. But we had time to kill because our place was being shown so we couldn't go home. The first house had me at hello. Nothing grand, nothing over the top. But solidly built, beautiful kitchen, nice yard (pool!), finished basement. I could see us living there. AND well within our price range. So now we have some motivation to actually sell this place. But still no viable offers on the homefront. Lots of showings, though, so our fingers are crossed.
