Sigh of Relief

Do you recognize this place?

It's our dining room!  

Thanks to my mom (and isn't everything thanks to Mom?) she and I were able to make our townhouse look like a cozy home again - and a lot less like a daycare!  Instead of visiting the zoo or the MOA, we vacuumed, dusted, mopped, laundered, Magic Eraser-ed, and appliance-painted throughout Friday evening and Saturday.  I even scraped a booger off a wall in the boys' room!  It was all worth it to stand back to see the house sparkling like it hasn't in...um, a really long time.  And to take a picture because, you guessed it -it looks like this again - note the nasty clever rug underneath and the Wal-Mart's best vinyl tablecloth.  However, I do love this picture because it's one of the first meals the 4 of us shared at the table - pancakes, our weekend tradition. 

Then today, our "fun" plans were hampered a by a cancellation, the afternoon naps that weren't, a teething boy, a tummyache, a headache, and missing Hubs' call from Mumbai.  Boo.

But now...a sigh of relief.

I just found out that the showings went well and that we already have an applicant for our townhouse!  Wow, thank you, God.  It looks like this unbelievable Big Move is going to happen! 

Lots of snuggles with Grandma during the waking hours
