This is the front entrance - in all its glory too! I think we may end up with a freezer in the corner by the front door as there is no way we can fit it down the stairway to the basement and no other place to put it!
Besides needing a light fixture and a different color of paint (tis like a light minty/teal green right now) The living room is quite nice - with laminate floors it should be easy to keep clean! I plan to put my piano against the wall on the left - and hopefuly build a window seat in the alcove in the middle.
The bathroom is a room that will someday need some work - but at least its useable right now - its not rotten or moldy or falling apart but it is somewhat outdated and maybe a big worn as well as being cramped and lacking in the storage department. The bathroom sink is located in the laundry room, outside the room where the toilet and shower are - so someday we'd like to expand the bathroom enough to put the sink inside and add some cupboards for towels, etc.
This is the "Master" bedroom - its not very large - none of the bedrooms are - but it does presently have two closets - one of which has been wired for a bathroom and we would like to finish that bathroom right away as the thought of rushing down the stairs in the middle of a cold winter night all the way to the other end of the house while the baby is kicking me in the bladder doesn't sound very appealing to me!! I also think that potty training will be much easier with a bathroom on each level! This bedroom is also the only room in the house besides the stairway that has carpet. The other two bedrooms have linoleum as well as most of the downstairs.
This is the second bedroom - presently occupied by two girls - I haven't yet decided which room I want as the baby's room yet - this one is long and narrow and has a full sized closet with mirrored doors at one end.
Bedroom number three is definitely a boys bedroom - so it will work good if we have a baby boy- but it might be the spare bedroom for now as which ever room has the crib in it will also have an extra bed and I think this room may be two small for both!
On my way home from looking at the house the other night this is what I watched (and drove toward) my whole way home! I had never seen a funnel cloud so this one was quite interesting - watching it go up and down and change shape all the time. I was just hoping and praying the whole time taht I would get home before it turned into something big - thankfully it never did - it just petered out into nothing!
Trevor has been cleaning up the yard around here a bit - sometimes I think its just an excuse to use his big machinery and make fires- but the yard is begining to look much better! I guess its just a pass time for now knowing we'll only be here for another month or so! Practicing for his own place I hope!
Here is a picture of Riata - my two year old - she's starting to fill out quite nicely and her head is actually kinda nice I think - despite my earlier worries that she might be somewhat ugly....Don't worry - I never told her that!
