The boys are in Monroe, and I'm supposed to be packing. Yesterday I got all the arrangements made for utilities/services that have to be turned off and on...electricity, gas, cable, water, phone, etc. Actually, I'm going to have to go to Coppell to get the water turned on. Somebody told me it was like a small old-fashioned town in the middle of Dallas, and they weren't lying.
This is one of the boys' favorite activities with daddy. Leo asks for "10 Flip Flops" every night when Todd comes home, so now Henry is in on the action.
We're in big trouble with our HOA b/c our lawn has weeds. They told us two weeks ago to take care of it, so we mowed. Apparently, that wasn't good enough, so we got Step Two of the threatening letter campaign. We called "The Professionals" at ChemLawn this weekend for help - we have to stay in good with the HOA right now b/c of closing on the house next week. ChemLawn said these were normal Spring Weeds that they can't do anything about right now - we would have to pull by hand and mow. So we added that to our list of chores for the weekend. And then sent a very nice letter to the HOA telling how concerned we are about our lawn and what steps we are taking to get ourselves straightened out. Tsk, tsk. We are hanging our heads in shame. lol.
Last week, we had a great offer on our house. We accepted...the inspection is over...and all is set to close on April 2.
Last weekend, we did some house hunting in Coppell and found a little gem at our last stop. WE LOVE IT! We drove it today during non-rush hour, and it took 14 minutes. We're predicting 19 minutes at rush hour! It is 4 BR/2.5 bath, 2375 sq ft, bigger yard than we've had, and it backs up to a great elementary school. We went back today for the inspection so I took some pictures and video.
When you walk in the foyer, the formals are immediately to your right. Most windows in the house have plantation shutters. The floor in these rooms and the kitchen is stained concrete - very good for little boys! The door that you can see open at the end of this room goes to the kitchen.
Some videos. In the kitchen, all the appliances are being replaced with new stainless. Double oven, microwave, cooktop, and dishwasher. They were putting them in today when we were leaving.
