This is a sign that my family is becoming all together too familiar with.
A year ago, Landon and I decided that it was time to sell our first house. It was our home for 5 1/2 years. Many wonderful memories were made in this house. But the time was right, and we took the plunge. It sold relatively quickly and were unsuccessful in finding another house to buy, so . . .
. . . we moved into an apartment style townhouse. For all of you that have lived in an apartment with small children, you know how difficult that can be. We never planned on this place being a long-term place of residence, so when we found . . .
. . . this house for rent, it seemed that everything was falling into place. This house is in the same neighborhood as our first home, so our children would be able to stay close to their friends and we would remain in our ward. Because it was a rental, it gave us flexibility in finding our next home to buy. However, the owners of the house, made other plans.
The owners of the house we are currently in have also decided that it is time to sell. So, here I am - again - showing a house. This time, it isn't even mine. Fortunately - or unfortunately, depending upon how you look at it - we only have 6 weeks to endure this, because at that point, our lease is being terminated. Wish us luck.

GOOD LUCK!
Scott and I looked at a house one time that had renters that didn't want to leave. They had decorated the house with skulls, ashtrays, and beer cans. I've always wondered if that was "staged."
We didn't buy that house. Maybe you should try that!
Jana's advice sounds pretty sound! Haha! Sorry you're having to move around so much...no fun!
Skulls and beer cans would certainly turn me away! ;)
So sorry, but I hope this opens a door for some new opportunities.
But if all else fails, try decorating creatively like Jana said. You could alway let Ella and Addi loose with some fingerpaints, or start letting them redesign the landscaping. But you know what I would prefer, hehehe.
