Oh July!

It's been "something" around here.  The townhome sale is dead. Can you believe it?!?!  Each time we've put it up for sale, it's sold relatively quickly and then something happens and the deal goes bad.  This time, the Buyer's financing fell through.  UNBELIEVABLE!  It was like the steal of the year for the price and his mortgage would have been dirt cheap, but whatev.  Apparently something must have happened between his pre-approval and the actual loan application.  Maybe he lost his job or something.  I'm still annoyed with him, job or no job.  We wasted ALL of June (oh lovely June) on this dude.  We can't get that month back.  Not sure where we go from here, but the "FOR SALE" sign is back out.  Keep your fingers crossed that someone will drive by with an interest, and the cash to back it up!

We spent the 4th of July at home.  We wanted to travel to see the peeps in Worthington, but with the house in limbo we decided to stick around.  We headed to the waterpark on the 4th which was a super fun time!  Spent the evening over at Annie's for the 4th.  I only grabbed a few pictures and Ella was not being very cooperative.  Boo.

 This one makes me laugh.  I have no idea what was so interesting on the ground!!!

We saw two kids flicks over the long holiday weekend.  Wednesday morning Ella & I went to a free showing of one of the Alvin & the Chipmunks movies.  She was super excited and we had a great time.  She insisted on popcorn.  At 10 a.m. in the morning.  A girl after my own heart!  :)

And Friday afternoon, we all went and saw Despicable Me 2, which was also super fun.  Lots of fun one-liners and of course those silly Minions!  Our house is now obsessed with the little yellow guys!

Ella & Jay managed to make it to the Home Depot event on Saturday morning, which was related to the Despicable Me 2 movie.  Only one cell phone pic from that crazy mess!

Overall, it was a nice and surprisingly relaxing holiday weekend!  If we'd only known what was to come about the townhome sale! 

And, for fun, here's a short video and pictures of Ella the other day.  She insisted on those flower glasses, and she picked out her own outfit, which is happening more and more and makes me FULL of anxiety!!
