Hi! You all should see our house! It's looking SO good! :) I LOVE the new carpet. It's so soft, i just want to roll around on it! lol The house is so de-cluttered and clean. It's been so nice! The kids seem a little bored (10 boxes of toys have been put away, so all they have are the toys we left out in the basement. There are no toys upstairs at all). But they are doing fine. We're spending a lot of time in the basement or outside or going to the playplace near our town or having playdates w/ friends. I'm keeping them busy.
The house is officially on the market! We put it on a few fsbo sites last week. We haven't had much interest, but it's hard to advertise a fsbo home. There are a few online sites, but the paper isn't really a source anymore. It used to be that's where everyone would look. In fact, we found our first home in the paper. There used to be like 10 FSBO homes in the paper for each city. Now, there are only about 4 FSBO homes in the entire real estate section. We're still trying to figure out the best way to advertise.
We held our first Open House on Sunday. It was SO hot and we didn't really advertise, so we didn't expect anyone to be there, but we did have one couple. They seemed really nice. Their daughter goes to the in-home daycare provider down the street so they said it was great that it was so close. They seemed interested - took about 10 minutes looking around, which is pretty long. Matt and I know whether we like a house within about 2 minutes of setting foot in it. So we thought it was a good sign that they stuck around for a little longer. The hard thing is that we really don't know if they just saw the sign when they were dropping their daughter off and were curious or if they have been searching for a house and stumbled upon it. They may have a house to sell or may not even be pre-qualified at this point. I should have asked more questions, but I didn't want to seem over-eager and pushy. I guess if they are interested they will call.
We have a sign in the yard with a flyer in it. I made the flyer myself. It looks/sounds good if I do say so myself. :) Since this is a public site and I have pictures of my kids on this site, I cropped the picture so that the address and links to other sites can not be viewed and I blacked out the phone number. Let me know what you think! And if you see anything that I should crop out (for safety reasons) please let me know. It's easy to overlook those things.

Sorry, I can't make it any bigger. I know it's hard to read, but let me know if you think it looks good. :)
