We are toying with the idea of moving to a nearby neighborhood and have let the kids go to a few open houses with us. Seeing the houses through their eyes has been really funny. Ben “eliminated” one because the pool had a few leaves in it. Elizabeth fell in love with a couple because of the toys they had. They each announced which bedroom was theirs. Luckily most everything we saw had a boy and a girl room so there wasn’t any fighting. They knew we had asked them not to touch the people’s things, but E asked about every other room if she could touch something. She had a logical reason for each item and why it needed to be touched. Ben snooped on the people and guessed ages of kids by the size of clothing in their closets. They think it is our new pastime and actually enjoy looking at houses. And usually we enjoy taking them along for the kid commentary.
