The difference between my children

     Okay so I went and played bunco last night.  Let Ryan have 3 friends over while I was gone.  As I was getting ready to leave they were setting up a table to play cards. 
     When I called later in the evening to see how they were doing he said fine.  I asked what they were doing and he answered playing ice pong. 
What!??? 
you know ice pong like beer pong but without the beer.
 OH!? 
Told the ladies I had to leave cuz I had to race home to make sure it was just ice!  When I got home they had cleaned up (Probably because I said I'd be right home).  Had the bean bag pillows upstairs in the family room and were ready for bed.  I checked downstairs to see if any damage was done... none..... but there were playing cards every once in a while on the floor. 
Came upstairs in the kitchen playing cards,
in the foyer playing cards,
in the family room playing cards.
 Asked Ryan what's with the cards on the floor?
Ryan: "what cards".
  I go to bed.
Get up next morning go downstairs ask the boys, because two of them spent the night,
 what's up with the playing cards on the floor? 
They answer "what cards?". 
Me:" The cards every so often on the floor all over the house".  
Ryan: "they aren't upstairs so they aren't all over the house" 
Me: "okay so your saying you know there are cards on the floor?" 
Ryan looks at me and smiles. 
Then I say clean up your mess
Ryan: "What mess??"
 The one your sitting in the middle of..... 
Ryan: "this isn't a mess" 
Okay what is it then.....

If this was Corey it would have gone like this. 
Phone call while at bunco.
 Me:"Corey what are you doing?"
 Corey:"watching a movie." 
(okay could stay at bunco longer)  
Get home find cards on the floor.
Me:" corey why are there playing cards on the floor?" 
Corey:"we had a war with them and threw them at each other."
Me: "okay please clean them up"
Corey:"okay"
next morning come downstairs see the mess
Me:"Corey clean up the mess you made with the pillows"
Corey:"okay"
friends;"okay"
    
So, you can see my delema.  With Ryan it's always not me I don't know what your talking about.  Like I'm seeing things.  Corey it's always a straight answer.  Then Ryan wonders why he's always getting in trouble.

Oh yeah we have a showing tomorrow so you have to clean up your mess......

The hardest part

Still waiting........... no new showings, no calls, no questions, nothing.

Waiting.....

Well since the office walk through one showing. The realtor's all liked the house nothing derogatory was said. No comments on what can be done to stage the house.

Just one showing on Sunday morning. Only feedback from that one is we are their first pick but they are going to wait they aren't in a hurry. Which means they want to see if we come down in price. That's not going to happen for a while.

Still waiting........... This is the hardest part

Selling the house

Our house has officially been on the market for 2 weeks. We had our first office walk through. About 9 realtors showed up and walked around the house. The thing they seemed to like the most was the raised dishwasher. It seemed to be a novelty to them. The other thing they seemed to like was the heated floor in our master bathroom. They didn't understand the washer and dryer upstairs though. A couple of them asked about hook ups for a washer and dryer in the basement. My answer to them was no why would you want one down there? The bedrooms are up here, you just walk over and get the clothes, wash and dry them then put them away. Why walk down two flights of stairs to wash and dry then walk back up two flights of stairs to put them away. The one lady just looked at me like oh?!?... Interesting. It will be very interesting to hear their feedback. I also explained to the one realtor that came later in the day that the whole house is remodeled to look at the lake. She was one that got Chase's idea and liked all the things that Chase did (like the back splash in the kitchen). It all want so fast though. I really can't wait to hear their feedback.

Corey had asked why we had to have the office come and look at the house? I just said that it's because they need to know what the inside looks like to sell the house because it doesn't have the wow factor on the outside. People would just drive by otherwise.
