our spring break is a time to catch up with old friends, finish up last min. projects and of course, my favorite, sleeping in! :) we spent last saturday helping mom and dad get ready to put their house on the market. they are hoping to have it listed by late next week. the boys started on the back deck. since a ton of concrete had to come out first, ryan was more than happy to get his 'big boy toy' out and crush rock. tim, who's handy at many things was able to give dad (who's also VERY handy) a hand. the 'little boys' spent most of the day tooling around on dad's mower. (thanks dad for being so patient with them! :) i swear, you would have thought they were getting the opportunity to drive a nascar! :) ) mom, myself and bailee, spent most of the day cleaning and purging all of mom's 'special breakables'. after we were done, mom said she felt like she just lost 50 lbs. So freeing. we are hoping to do a booth at the fairgrounds during the Holland Days festival here in lynden. the fairgrounds are having a huge garage sale/swap meet there, so we are renting a space. early next week, it's crunch time! all those last min. details before the realtor's do their walk through. having mom and dad sell their place is very bitter sweet for all of us. since dad is retiring, they would love to do more travel, less upkeep. plus, the extra cash it would bring in wouldn't be so bad either. we are thrilled for them and the new adventure that awaits them.

Looks like a you accomplished a lot of things! No doubt it feels good to purge...we can all stand to do some of that I think, right?
