House Hunting with the Boys

Now that Eric has posted with pictures, I can give a few anecdotes without feeling like I'm short changing those who have trouble visualizing situations.

Dom and Will are getting to be more and more entertaining as time goes on. Maybe this parent thing wasn't such a bad investment after all. We are saving bundles on movie tickets alone. As some of you know, we are house hunting and as such have gone on a few house visits. We considered finding a sitter for the boys, but since this consideration didn't occur to us until a couple of hours before the onset of the first tour, Dom and Will have been accompanying us and sharing their opinions along the way. A select few:

A bathroom that connects two bedrooms is a big plus. Dom found it hilarious that he could go in one room (Bye Bye, Momma) and then come out a totally different room ( Hi Momma!). I was surprised every time.

A house with a dog always beats a house without a dog. Unless, the house has a play set. That's "pretty cool" or "awesome" depending on the play set. Oh, and a piano helps increase the value of the house exponentially.

Lastly, wood floors are great. Especially if you want to be heard. Not that they need much help. Both boys enjoyed listening to the sound of their own voices immensely. I wonder who they got that from. . .

As a side note, the houses that we are considering all have laundry chutes. The boys are too low to notice them, but I'm sure there is a blog post in the not too distant future where the chutes will have a prominent role. I just hope it is not entitled: " Adventures with the Indoor Slide"
