Now watch by Monday both will be sold.
Both homes are in very good neighborhoods.
Home A) is in our neighborhood, its good because its new. The home was build in late 90'ies and is very elegant looking. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, great room, kitchen and a dinning room. I do not like the yard. The home sits at an angle and they yard is odd shaped. But ... not bad.
Home B) is in an established good neighborhood, downfall of that is very high taxes!! The home was build in the late 80'ies, is all brick, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, great room with fire place, living room and a large kitchen with enough room for a table.
Both homes have a nice size laundry room! Which is amazing. Both homes have 2 car garages.
I love home A because its soo elegant. Kitchen has an island and great room has cathedral cellings. Its all open plan. Great looking.
I love home B because the family room is on the other side of the house. So our main "sitting/watching tv/playing wii/computer/Megan's 10000000 toys room could be away from guests who drop by.
My plan was always to find a house that has that feature. Home A doesnt. However its elegance is pulling me in.
The homes are about the same size sq wise. Home A is a bit bigger and has a bit more land, but it also costs more.
I have to make a decision. Both homes are new on the market and with my luck they will sell from under me.

Ice killed a baby bunny.
I am still not over this and very, very sad.
I let Ice out into his kennel. Didnt think much of it. Got ready to leave, call Ice back home and he has fur in his mouth... ok... wtf?
I go in the kennel and see a nest a momma bunny made. Its a hole, under a chair that I used to give Ice shade in his kennel. The fur in his mouth was the mommas fur that she used to line the hole.
But one bunny is alive and well, the other barely moving. He wasnt aggressive at all, he was just wanting to play.
The bunny momma was sitting in the middle of the yard... watching.
We had to go, so with tears in my eyes I ran back home. That night Mike checked, the one bunny was dead, the other gone.
I cried... a lot. I still cry.
I went to clean his kennel this weekend and found the other baby bunny, dead. Not sure if this was bunny #2 that was alive and unharmed or if maybe this was #3 that died, he was buried under the moms fur and grass.
I am so sad. I know its not the dogs fault. He is just a dog. But I feel so guilty. So, so guilty.

I must be house "unlucky".
I keep losing all the homes I want!!!
1) The first home I lost, out in the "semi-country" by that I mean it was country BUT a neighborhood in the country (BTW just found out the well water would not be an issue as city is taking over THIS YEAR). Anyway this house was on the market for 7 months and NOT one person even looked at it. I finally look at it, and the same week they get 4 other offers. Realtor was acting a bit shady, so we lost it.
2) In the city, huge house but very plain outside. I still wanted it. It had a basement. This house was on the market for a YEAR with no offers. Lots of views, no offers. I make my offer, come to a verbal agreement.... and someone comes in and buys it from under me. I am still bitter as heck about this one.
Looking back, my realtor really did not protect me here, she should have been more aggressive in looking out for ME.
3) I go to an open house this Sunday. Great part of town. The house ... to drool for. New on the market. Not as big as house 2 and no basement but OMG... drool. Today I call the woman who had the open house to make my offer. Only to find out that at 9AM they already got an offer. Now I am waiting, to see if the broker already submitted the offer. If he did not, they can submit both offers. If he did, I am too late.
Update.... Yep, sadly home 3 is gone. Lost another one.

Easter
Easter Bunny came and left a gift at home.
We went to grandmas for an egg hunt and dinner
Bunny hopped by her house and left a gift also.
Not sure if you know, but this in fact is a new hot fashion style.

Houston... we have wireless.. again
For now anyway. Lets hope it stays on! I am not sure what is going on but my wireless router is old (4 years or so), that could be the problem.
Also my whole system is routed and rerouted so many times it takes a map to follow it all. lol

But she had to change yet again, and this time .... (great aside from the yellow socks lol)
And this is a bunny she made in preschool, isnt he the cutest thing ever?

Parent Teacher Conference.
Good and bad.
They told me Megan is the youngest kid in the preschool class. Both teacher and assistant told me her age worried them a lot, and when they found out she was never in a day care and always with me they expected the worst. But she did amazingly well in adjusting. And she is a fast learner.
The bad that she got I for....
She has problems knowing the difference between fantasy and reality. Her other problem was being able to create a patters.
The good .....
Somethings really shocked me that she knew. She can say the whole pledge, she knows how to do graphs, she said she loves science experiences, and likes to talk and tell stories... a lot, she can make rhymes and is one of the top students when it comes to it.
And she knows all the average stuff like colors, numbers, small and big letters, when they read a story she follows it can ask and answer questions about it, she remembers songs and poems etc etc...
I asked the teacher if she thinks Megan is ready for kindergarten, and she said... because of her age IF she was her daughter she would leave her in preschool one more year.
Time is getting close by and I still dont know what to do. We have testing set up on the 14th, I am sure we will make a decision after the testing.
