Happy Monday

Taylor didn't have school today. I think it's Martin Luther King's birthday, or something significant I just can't remember. But it was fun to have a little day off. We decided to go to the Living Desert and spend the morning. I left the house tidy, just as I usually do these days since we are selling it. But I didn't leave it "show ready," with all the lights on, the music playing, etc. etc. So as we were walking in the entrance I got a call from Curt saying a realtor called and wanted to show it in an hour. He was sweet and said that he'd moved some mail I had out and made Taylor's bed for me. When I told Taylor about the realtor, she looked at me with big eyes and said, "I didn't make my bed this morning." It was cute... I reassured her that Curt had done it for her. I told her we'd have to run home and she was devastated. I swear, selling this house is getting in the way of me trying to be a good mom. So I called the realtor hoping my phone wouldn't die, (I didn't charge it the night before) and asked if she could come in the afternoon. Whew... it all worked. We saw the giraffe's, the wild animal show, the butterfly exhibit and we were out of there just in time to get home to make the house perfect and leave again so they could see the house. We had so much fun. We haven't been to the living desert for a while and Brent is at a perfect age for LOVING all the animals and especially the big train. (The Living Desert is getting a Lion Exhibit soon.. big news. Tay was really excited)
