First off – Mallory is a STINKER. Lately, when I ask for a kiss and I lean in – she leans in too and then at the last second, turns her cheek so I give her a kiss on the cheek. This quickly turned into a game – what a little brat!

New words – bubbles and bite. Bite can mean she wants a bite of our food or she may be pointing to one of her many bug bites. Also boo-boo – where she points at one of her big welts that then got gooey and we have to put neosporin on it. Then she takes my little tube of concealer and tries to dab it on her boo-boo and she says “boo-boo”.

I don’t think I mentioned that Mallory can get herself out of our backyard now. It’s beyond irritating because I used to be able to leave her in the yard for 2 minutes while I ran in to go to the bathroom or grab a beer water or whatever. The other day I was coming down from my bedroom and out the window at the bottom of the stairs, I see blond bouncy curls heading down the deck stairs. Dammit Jim! I immediately went out and got a clip to put in the the latch.

We all know Mallory has some crazy curls – but I always crack up when people see her hair in real life (for the first time or the first time in a long time) and start freaking out about her curly locks. It is SOOO funny! We stopped into my work today and a bunch of co-workers were just ooohing and aaahing. It was so funny.

We had Mallory’s follow up for her ear tubes with Dr Possum Hunting – all is well – she passed the hearing test and the tubes are clear – so we are good to go until next year. Wahoo.

Our house is officially for sale. So far seven flyers have been taken from the info tube thingy on our for sale sign! Shoot me an email or a comment if you are interested in seeing the listing info (I don’t want to post here lest a crazy finds my address) and I’ll email you the link. We still have some organizing and normal spring-cleaning stuff to do before I am comfortable with actually showing the house and we hope to bang that out this week. Please think good thoughts or pray or cross your fingers or whatever it is you do to wish for good luck for us that someone wants to buy our house for lots of money. Thanks.
UPDATED – another flyer just flew out of our tube! But I wonder how many were taken by our nosy neighbors?

Rick is on another vacation work trip – he gets back tomorrow. Mallory sees our neighbor out at the lake working on his boat (which is right next to our boat) and starts yelling “GAGA!!! BOAA!!!!!! GAGA!!! BOAA!!!!” (dada boat). Sorry sweetheart, Gaga is in a different timezone.
where are you moving?
