Todays pictures are brought to you by the handy dandy iPhone.<\/p>\n

Yesterday morning I got the standard, “I have no jeans- you gave them all to Blake!!” from my 12 year old.\u00a0 I don’t think that I gave them to Blake but since they wear the same size I guess it’s possible.<\/p>\n

Cole was getting picked up from K and headed to a friends house so I had a few hours.\u00a0 Eva and I decided to hit the outlet mall.<\/p>\n

Everyone had their jeans on sale so Austin scored at American Eagle.\u00a0 I decided it was time to throw out all my jeans with holes- I have worn my jeans into the ground because I loved them so much.\u00a0 Some of them were the same age as Blake (10).\u00a0 I know.\u00a0 Bad.<\/p>\n

So out they go and in came a couple pairs of replacements.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

See part of my Dyson back there?\u00a0 Remember how I said I ordered it when I was supposed to ordering Xmas presents?\u00a0 Well I broke it a couple weeks after I got it.\u00a0 I am so hard on vacuums, I now own two broken ones.\u00a0 One of them I tried to duct tape back together.<\/p>\n

Eva was not happy with me because after the outlet mall I made her go to the grocery store to stock up since we are expecting a snow storm.<\/p>\n

That meant grabbing a few new sleds since our old ones didn’t make it home last time.\u00a0 Thinking they might be in a friends car<\/p>\n

Cole wants to go sledding so bad he carried his around all night.<\/p>\n

I found it here<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then he whined about sledding the whole time I was making dinner<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We currently have NO snow.\u00a0 So no sledding.\u00a0 But it didn’t stop him from whining.\u00a0 And trying to sled off the couch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was basketball night so dinner was quick<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then Blake said, “look at Eva and her mad skillz!”\u00a0 Because she kept trying no hands<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Those are some serious thighs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> “come on Blue Jackets, score!!” is what he was yelling as he watched the game from this interesting position<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Pictures stop there as Blake had gotten dropped off at the wrong school for basketball and I had to go get him<\/p>\n

For those asking the price on my dream house (and for those that are curious but afraid to ask)<\/p>\n

I realize that housing prices are all relative- for instance when Pottery Barn was trying to woo Andy away from VS, there was no way we could make San Fran work.\u00a0 Without a significant downsize.\u00a0 Here in the midwest you get a little more bang for your buck.<\/p>\n

That said, my dream house is old, historic, huge, and not cheap.<\/p>\n

When the house was put on the market it was some where in the 9’s.\u00a0 And it sat.\u00a0 And sat.\u00a0 So they dropped it to 870 or so.\u00a0 It eventually sold for 770 back in 2007.<\/p>\n

The house would easily sell for twice that here in Worthington where I currently live. Housing prices vary so much and it’s all based on location of course.\u00a0 Granville is far enough out that things are more affordable.\u00a0 And no, I don’t think 770 is terribly affordable but there are a ton out there that are.<\/p>\n

I think part of what makes Granville also so alluring is that it is this little picturesque university town set down in a valley that is steep in history.\u00a0 And fun facts like haunted inns, underground railroad, and Jennifer Garner (she went to college there- how can you not love her?)<\/p>\n

But as much I like to love on Granville, Worthington is pretty cool too.\u00a0 And a heck of a lot closer to Whole Foods.\u00a0 And we are happy here.\u00a0 For now \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
