  Looking for homes with parents and their children can be fun ;but the the children become bored and tired.They have their playtime and sleep times interrupted.It becomes a strain on the children,the parents,and yes the Real Estate Agent.  The weather here has been very cold.The children are bundled up , fasten into their car seats, then out again when we view  each house.
