Well, we are getting ready to list our house. Our goal is to put it on the market early March, really, the sooner the better. Well, it has been a lot of work. We have taken over 6 suburban loads and two pickup truck loads of "stuff" to the new house and really, if you didn't know better, you wouldn't even notice. I will say, the house is looking pretty spiffy, but in a "it-should-have-looked-like this-anyway" way. The play room has been reduced to a kitchen, doll baby crib, a box a dress up and a few bins with toys. Gone is the train table, the high chairs, the strollers, the doll houses, the stuffed animals, the toy vanity, the... well, a lot of stuff. But you know what, the kids are surviving. They are actually playing with the one house and my little ponies they have down there. They have not even asked where all the other stuff is. I am tempted to just get rid of it. I tried to sneakily put the toy hair dresser thingy out on the curb. Well we walked our friends out to their car, and Maura saw it. She didn't get upset. In fact, she didn't say anything. She just went over and started playing with it. Then when she was done she came in. I have to wonder what she was thinking.
So we plan to put the finishing touches on the house next weekend and move out. Hopefully get it listed the following week. We are keeping our fingers crossed. this market is not the best market to be selling your house, but when you have four kids (girls none the less) a 3 bedroom, 1 full bath house, just ain't gonna cut it.

I totally know the feeling. After moving over to this house, Will declared that Marshall had "too many toys". I replied that now we have a play room and he wouldn't have to look at them anymore. :) Where is the new house? I am so excited for you guys, but I can't imagine moving with a newborn! It's good that you have grandparents nearby!
