Upon further inspection once we were alone in the house and dying from heat so we were actually able to look around, I noticed that it needed a thorough cleaning. I really believe the last people who lived in the house smoked and the walls were in dire need of a wash. So Jared and I have been taking trips over there to clean the carpets, wash the walls, etc. I will be going back tonight with a sponge to really get the spots on the walls that need the most TLC.
We took the girls over there last night. Lexi is in heaven! She is really really going to love the backyard. I'm excited to get her a kiddie pool so she can swim. That dog loves the water! Tifa on the other hand was quite apprehensive. She is very picky about the grass she walks in and stayed on the porch. We had to keep picking her up and moving her to the grass, then she would promptly run back to the porch where the cement was safe. Silly dog! They book took to the doggie door and went in and out. I think it will take a while until they understand they can do that anytime, but for now we are making them go through it when they go outside and come back through when they want to come back in.
I think once it cools off, we will be spending a lot of time in that backyard. It is a good 30-40 yards wide and has a ton of room to run around in. I am so excited about it. :D I am already envisioning what I would do to the house if we owned it.... :D Maybe in a few years...we'll see...
We got to see my parents yesterday which was really nice. We all went to breakfast at IHOP and stopped by the house to show them. We only got to walk around the outside because we didn't have the keys yet. They seemed to like it a lot. It was great to visit with them.
Well, that's what going on in Thatcher-land!
