First Open House

This weekend is the first open house, so we left last night from San Jose to go to Chico. We left at 7pm and made it up in about 4 hours. I was fueled by my new Starbucks mug filled with the crazy go juice. Kim was fueled by a Dr. Pepper and the kids were fueled by a heavy dose of "are we there yet question sessions." By the time we made it to Highway 32 in Orland I was ready to cut my eye lids off to lighten the burden on my head.

In some sense, it was bad timing to come to Chico this weekend because the family that is up here is busy living their lives. That is fine though. The kids want to go to caper acres and mom wants to go to thrift shops to hunt for cashmere sweaters. She is going to gut the thread and give it a new life.

Right now the kids are destroying the bedroom of Elliot and quickly flanking to the outer rooms on a seek and destroy mission. It's only 9Am and child war fare is going to drive us to the side walks of Chico. Are main objective for this weekend was to avoid the mess that the children would make on the house. So now we are at Chris and Kim's house and fighting that fight here....
