Weekend Update

As you might have guessed, it has been a busy last few days. We got the house officially listed on the market on Friday, and had 2 showings on Saturday and an open house on Sunday that 7 prospective buyers came to. The realtor said 5 of them were good prospects and they all had nice things to say about the house and some of them inquired as to whether anyone was really living here ;) I think our house looks as good as possible for having 5 people a cat and a dog living here ;) The dog, by the way, went to overnight camp for the weekend due to the open house and the showings. She is coming home this afternoon.

Besides the house stuff, Ben competed in his first chess tournament on Saturday at South Mecklenburg high school (my dad's alma mater coincidentally enough considering we are not Charlotte natives). Ben competed with his school's chess team against teams from other elementary schools. Ben won his three matches, though his team as a whole did not fare as well. Ben had a great time though and afterwards since there were showings scheduled at the house I took him to lunch and to Monkey Joe's before heading back home to meet up with Joel, Becca, and nanny and papa to head to dinner at PF Chang's.

Yesterday (Sunday) was filled up with Hebrew school, getting ready for the open house, errands, and Ben's basketball game. The open house seemed to go pretty well as previously mentioned. I can already tell that keeping the house ready to show at all times is going to be a considerable pain ;) Here's to hoping it sells quickly.....
