74?

You go that right, the high today is 74 degrees and I couldn't be ANY happier about it! We took FULL advantage of this beautiful weather and headed to the zoo this morning. Kyle is flying out this afternoon for a day trip to Kansas City for work, so with the zoo on the way to the airport, we drove seperate vehicles so he headed to fly out and we headed home when we were done. What a perfect day. The sun was shining- I even got a little color! All of the animals were out, and we even got to see the elephants today (they were my favorite.)
Yesterday we kept busy too, taking Reese to the Home Depot kids workshop in the morning before we met some friends for lunch. The first Saturday of every month they host a free kids workshop where kids can come and build the planned activity. This month, it was building a birdfeeder. Reese jumped right in and helped Kyle, and then painted it once it was put together. Afterwards, we went to Lincoln Square Pancake House in dt Greenfield for some yummy lunch- Reese even got a Mickey Mouse pancake! We met the other couple through Reese's tumbling class, they have two girls- both Reese and Preston's ages. We had fun socializing with other adults- and the kids had a good time goofing around.
We then went out house hunting a bit more yesterday afternoon. With our realtor on vacation until Tuesday, and us being back home next weekend for a wedding that Kyle is in, we figured we needed to get out on our own. We looked up 6 houses to drive by, and were not really impressed with any. The lots always look SO much nicer on the computer, and then you drive by and it is either houses stacked on each other, or a lot that has a steep hill as a backyard- neither functional for our family. So, with the short sale we have an offer in on- the house is looming foreclosure (Apr 24 to be exact.) The mediator on the case esaid either raise your offer in hopes of potential accpetance, or move along as it will for sure be going into foreclosure on the 24th- and no one can touch that house for atleast a year then. So, we have to decide what we want to do- we will be going to look at it again on Tuesday evening to make our final decision. There is one other offer in on the property, but we know our offer is higher- as they mediator has told us. We know the exact number they are looking for, we just arent sure we want to pay that for it. And, even if we do offer that number, there is still a chance the bank rejects it and it goes into foreclosure anyways....I'll keep you posted!
