Chili.

Is the smell of chili a comforting smell or turn you off?  I was wondering this today as we got a last minute showing.  When our Realtor called to tell us we had a showing in a couple hours I said, "Uh oh".  She said, "What's wrong".  I told her that I had chili cooking in the slow cooker and the whole house smells like chili.  She told me to just leave it out and not worry about it, maybe it would bring us good luck.  Well, we haven't heard anything yet, so I am guessing it didn't bring us good luck, but we will see.

It was a boring day of frantically trying to get the house straight while watching Logan.  Luckily, he was pretty cooperative except that he fussed each time I left the room.  After we left the house I got a call that the showing was going to be later than expected, so I had even more time to try and kill with Logan.  It was his nap time so after hitting the mall, I let him fall asleep in the car and then I just drove around and read in my car.  I actually kind of enjoyed the silence. 

This evening Dennis got to put his basketball skills to the test.  Colin's basketball practice was a kids vs parents game.  Supposedly, Dennis and Colin both scored some points.  However, I wasn't there to verify it, so I guess we will have to take their word for it.

I am looking forward to Julie's family coming tomorrow night.  They have a birthday party to go to Saturday in Richmond, so they are coming the night before and we are going to play a board game called Catan with them and another couple.  Dennis fell in love with Catan when they visited last time, so I got it for him for his birthday this year.  It should be a fun evening.
