Stakeout

Our house is still on the market, hasn't sold yet (as of October 23rd).  We've had two different sets of lookers who were deciding between our house and another one and apparently they chose the other one :)  We've dropped the price twice and now we'll just wait for the right buyer.  Go horrible economy!

Sometimes when we have showings they're right before Lilly's nap or I need to do something and can't just leave for two hours, so we do a stakeout at the school across the street from our house. Then we can go back home as soon as the lookers leave.  It caused a little confusion for Lilly in the beginning ("Why can't we just go home?"), but she's gotten used to it by now.  Some people find it to be stalker-ish but it's actually fascinating :)  You can learn all sorts of interesting things about the lookers!

Here's a picture from one of our showings.  Lilly in her seat in the car, snack in hand,  Addie anxiously panting in the"way back" (as we used to call the back of my mom's maroon-interior station wagon), and in the distance, our house.

If you think that staking out your own house when people are looking to buy it is really wierd, then you just don't know how curious (nosy) I am :)
