here's a little sneak peak...I sorta forgot about taking pictures that would show what it actually looks like, so you'll just sorta have to guess for a while ;) (sorry) :)
the kids were so excited to go for a ride on the "tractor" and it's actually a good thing that they all like riding on it...I'm fairly certain it's going to take Korey at least a couple of hours to mow it and it'll be a good break for all of us ;)
(I actually went out and mowed the lawn at the rental tonight, after bedtime and it was a great break) :)
the house is a ranch- 4 bedrooms, 1 full bath and 2 half baths- with an open concept kitchen, dining and living room. It's very "old style" and will definitely need some updating- specifically the kitchen and dining room- you can see the "beautiful" flooring in one picture- it does have a swingset, but we're going to sell that and put up our own. My personal favorite part of the whole house is the screened in porch- it's perfect and beautiful and overlooks the gorgeous backyard! the house is on 7 acres and the yard does take up a good portion of that- it's not a full 7 acres or anything- but it's definitely big and has a lot of flowerbeds- the previous owner was a master gardener, so I'll have a lot to live up to :) It also has a HUGE garden that Korey and his mom will be planting tomorrow...yay for fresh veggies :) we'll definitely be kept busy keeping up with the yard work, so it's good that our kids love to play outside so much :)
I'm fairly certain the kids favorite part is a little ride on toy that the couple left- it goes perfectly down the ramp that's built on the back and they screamed and shrieked and begged for turns :) It definitely kept them busy for quite a long time- that and chasing the neighbors guinea hens around the yard :) (apparently they enjoy roaming all over...I think that will be Allie's favorite part) :)
so, in short...that's a little bit about our new house!! I'm hoping to sleep there soon, but we shall see. Taking four kids, a dog to a new house is nothing to sneeze at...definitely something that'll take some prep work and will probably hinge on how much energy I have tomorrow :)
looks awsome! i cant wate to see pictures of your garden! :) we planted ours today..well except the potatoes...i forgot them at home. i'll blame it on 'pregnancy brain' ;) i took pics of ours in hopes that i can get that blog started soon.
ReplyDeleteawww, would love to see some pics of your house when you put them up!! yes...pregnancy brain is a bummer ;) I don't even have any idea what Korey and his mom are planning on planting- how bad is that, huh?!
DeleteSo, so incredibly happy for you guys. It looks like a wonderful home and what fun to have so much space to play and run outside!!! Will be praying for strength and energy as you prepare to move in! Love you!
