This past week Angie and I had so much fun going to parade of homes. We saw some really neat things and got some great ideas for our home wish list. We both decided that bathrooms should be the most luxurious place in the house, that kitchen islands were so neccesary, and that we need as much light as we can coming into our hoom. One of the coolest things I saw was a shower that you could seal off to become a sauna and you could adjust the water temperature to the degree. We had so much fun and ultimatley we decided that we are simple women and while all the frill and fuss of a 4.3 million dollar house might be nice to look at there is no way we would ever want to deal withthat much space and that much cleaning.

We even took Jude and Ollie for one of the houses. They had so much fun and were pretty well behaved for little kids. We did let them play a little bit because the house was basically empty. They didn't hurt anything and had a great time, so no harm done.

There was one moment where Jude refused to listen and so he ended up in a time out. The most luxurious time out ever in a walk in closet in a gated community. I was kind of glad that he got to see that mom's rules go where ever he goes and that I'm not afraid to enforce them in public. Afterall there is no shortage of corners in the world.
