New Talents

So Alexia is on a quest to find a "new talent that I can show everyone in Texas". She told me that my new Texas talent is going to be driving. Apparently Alexia and Brian were discussing my wonderful ability to drive in the snow yesterday and Alexia has decided that when we get to TX- and I quote- "daddy should hire someone to teach you to drive more better mommy!" (and according to Alexia she told Brian that I can't drive when its not snowing either) I want to go on the record as saying that my driving is not that bad.

Alexia decided that Brians new TX talent is going to be football games. Since Dallas has a pro football team he can go to the game instead of watching it on TV and that way she can watch TV while he is gone and wont have to listen to the game. Dont ask me how this is a talent!

Well, now she is trying to figure out a talent for herself and has told me taht I neeed to think of one. Any ideas?

Showing the House

Here is the link to OUR HOUSE

So we had our first "official" showing today. Our realtor said it went well. The couple was impressed with how well we have kept up on the cleanliness and overall maintenance. They are thinking of making an offer that would be contingent on their house selling. Overall it sounded optimistic.

Alexia is turning into her "clean freak mommy". She had the neighbor kids come over and play for a while and I could hear her in her room lecturing them that if mommy saw any toys on the floor she would be upset because "messes don't sell houses" (yes I used this line on her the other day- I can't believe myself sometimes) she did not let her friends get any toys out. I felt bad and told them that they could play with one bin of toys and then it would make clean up easier. She couldn't even enjoy playing because she was too worried about the mess. What have I done?! (Sadly I still enjoy how clean the house is right now and having Brian and Alexia helping keep it that way- I will admit I am probably totally screwing up as a mother)
