Oh, the PINK

Pink panties, pink pants, pink shirts, pink socks, pink shoes, pink hair bow, pink jacket.

Pink crayons, Pink Play-Doh, Pink markers, Pink blankets, Pink play food, Pink flowers Pink paper, Pink doll clothes, Pink sunglasses, Pink bottles of sunscreen, Pink shampoo, Pink soap, Pink fingernail polish, Pink cups, Pink plates, Pink spoons, and even on occasion pink-food coloring dyed food.

Anything non-Pink is shunned. Super cute clothing items that do not have pink in them remain in the closet gathering dust. Today she colored her fingers pink with a pink marker in what I thought was an attempt to "paint" her nails. IT turned out she wanted to turn her skin pink. I think I'm going to have to draw the line there.



House update: more waiting. We were able to get the 3rd party approval letter from the seller's 1st mortgage in time to qualify for the first-time home buyers tax credit. Now we are waiting for approval from the seller's 2nd mortgage, which to the surprise of both Realtor is taking some time. They asked for a few thousand additional, and our Realtor made it clear we don't want to go any higher--so she and the other Realtor have agreed to take less commission to accommodate the 2nd mortgage people. David and I are both touched that these people would do such a thing. We are getting a good deal on the house, comparable reports come back at about 25-30 thousand more than we are paying, and a lot of people are working hard to help us get in. It is just taking some patience and waiting.
