Hey Graham Fans!  We are talking April, 2013.  Way behind, but if we keep the pace we could be caught up by Spring Break!  Woot Woot!

 

April was a lot about selling the house.  The action picked up and we got an offer!  It was a family with seven kids!!  That was going to be a packed house.  To make a long story short, they were kind of hard to work with and ultimately couldn't afford the house and backed out.  Their realtor had shown the house to another couple that had liked it but the other family had made an offer before this couple was ready to decide on a house.  They were going to come back to see it.  We relisted it too to ensure we the traffic started again.  We had three showings and fortunately the couple made an offer.  Relief!

 

Beyond the house, we had plenty of other activities.  Nanny came to visit.  The weather was nice so we got to enjoy the weather.  Mommy and Daddy went out for dinner which put Nanny in charge.  We had a good time.  

We did some packing.  Every spring there is an anything goes garbage day.  It was timely given that we would be moving.  The crazy thing about it is that people drive around and pick up your stuff.  We put our stuff out on Sunday, and the majority of it was gone by Monday morning.  We watched for awhile as people rummaged through the stuff on the curb.  I talked Mom into going out 'pickin' with me.  We didn't find anything we wanted however. 

Hopefully the video below shows up for all my readers/viewers.  I really worked on my hula hooping.  Believe I have the moves.....

 

We celebrated Mommy's birthday.  Daddy helped us bake a cake for her.  We also went out for pizza.  Her birthday was the day that things started to go south with Buyer #1 so it wasn't as fun as she would have liked.  Dad and Mom also had conferences with my teachers on Mom's birthday.  They seemed happy with what they heard!  Whew!

 

Thanks to Uncle Greg we found a new park in our part of town.  It has a differ which I love and these cool trees you could climb.  If you know me and Caroline, you know how much we climb!  The perfect playground for us!  We made another trip there and packed a lunch.  

Most of you know about the Drake Relays.  We hadn't gone to any of the events before. We went to parade for the first time.  There were not many people there.  It was really windy but we got PLENTY of candy!  For the first time, Mom took us to the Beautiful Bulldog Contest.  They had all these bulldogs dressed up. Lucky for us there were some others there that we got to pet. Well they hold the pole vault event inside the mall.  Can you believe that?  Mommy took us to see it.  It was pretty cool, plus Porterhouse, the real bulldog, was there.  We love to pet him.  Hope we get to see some of the same events next year!
