And no I don't mean the kind my kids do when I ask them to do chores.

stupid picasa
so, apparently, my way of posting pictures on my blog has been changed by picasa/google. you used to be able to click on a picture, and get to the album of pictures to see the rest. apparently this is not the case anymore and now I need to put a link in to the rest of them.
with that - here's 70 or so from the fall. i'm still working on the wintertime ones.

seriously?
so, we managed to sell our house in something like a little over a week. not too bad considering we're in a down economy. gotta love the girls - they talk about the bad economy and how everything is blamed on it. speaking of the girls, they had their hands full with sports this past fall
- Emma was running CC like her aunt & uncle - not like her father
oh, almost forgot, since we moved in, we have gotten that son that has always eluded us!
I don't want to say that the previous owners didn't do a whole lot, but with there being nobody there for about 1 year, it was bad from a cleaning standpoint - and just from a update standpoint. there have been a few things that we did, that didn't take a lot of $ - just some time and the results were awesome.

just a whole lotta nothing...
that would be a statement to the contrary.
they say that a person makes a decision on a house within the first few minutes of seeing it. and if you saw this house, you would have made up your mind also. just like we almost did. the key phrase is almost. when we walked in, the house just stunk of fish, stale air, dust and dirt, old food, and just old. every room that we went into, we just kinda looked at each other and shook our heads at each other. it wasn't looking good.
this house needs everything done. yard. bedrooms - all of them. kitchen is horrid. the yard is a literal jungle.
but then again, we've never been ones to sit idle on something and think things through.
let's do it.
we haggle and negotiate for about 2-3 weeks and finally get it for our price that we are comfortable with, and we now have to sell our house. crap. didn't we just do this?
so we get the house in order and start showings in the first part of August and leave to Hilton Head - on the way down, in the middle of NC we get a call ... Sold! so at this point we really need to get things done - cause soon we may not have a house to live in.
this is a two parter - second is coming up shortly.
