House Stuff and a Sick Little Girl

Lately we have been busy getting everything in order for our upcoming home closing; it’s hard to believe everything that goes into purchasing a home. We had our inspection last week and aside from a few minor issues (most of which we were already aware of) everything looks good to go. However, the inspector did tell us to prevent further leaks and damage we should paint the exterior as soon as possible so we are now moving that from a fall to a spring project; I am going to paint it myself so I’m sure after painting the entire inside and entire outside I will be done with painting for awhile. Now we are just counting down the days and conserving cash in anticipation of all the redecorating expenses to come; like I mentioned before, there is a lot to be done so anyone wanting to help is more than welcome to join us.

This week was kind of a hectic week; Briley has been sick with RSV and since it is highly contagious she has been unable to go to school since last Tuesday so Autumn and I have been alternating who stays home with her. It was really annoying because when a child gets this they are suppose to stay home for a week but one of the kids in her class got it last week and his parents brought him back to school the next day and now just about every kid in the class has gotten it. Luckily we had a three day weekend so Briley will be able to go back to school tomorrow.

I have included a couple pictures of Briley and Viva; it’s so funny to watch them play together. Briley has learned how to shut doors but she still cannot open them so she likes to shut Viva into various rooms in the house and then she comes to us wanting us to let Viva out (after she knocks on the door of course). Sometimes she fails to come and tell us so Viva will be shut in till we figure out that we have not seen her for awhile. Briley also shuts herself into rooms but quickly cry’s until we let her out. Briley also likes to take Viva’s toys from her and throw them over the Baby gate and down the stairs so Viva has to chase after them. Just a moment ago she threw Viva’s toy and a basketball over the gate and Viva spent five minutes trying to figure out how to get the basketball back over the gate before finally giving up (not a very smart dog). In these pictures they are watching it show out the window and playing on the couch until Briley decides to kick Viva off the couch. Well I better get going, we hope everyone is doing great and staying warm.
