Today was a day for house hunting; starting this morning at quarter to 10:00, we viewed 6 houses, not ending until after 16:00. The first house we visited was an extremely unique house, with a heated indoor pool in the middle of the living room. It had all sorts of twists and turns, ups and downs, and the roof was an accessible lounge area. There was also one hallway that was twice the width it should be with two couches taking up the extra space. Quite odd.
The second house was on one acre of land, and had a big backyard with a pool and lots of grass to run and play on. Unfortunately, the bedrooms were rather small, and it would be difficult to cram all six kids into the three bedrooms allotted us. After having lunch, we headed back out to view four more houses. The third house of the day was my second favorite house with decently sized bedrooms, a nice kitchen, and (the best part to my siblings) a pool with a slide. Then we visited a house in a Canterwood like setting, but although it was a nice house, it didn't have staff quarters, which we need.
After driving out to North Riding, A.H., we stopped to look at our third house, a large property (by Josie standards) with room for chickens, a big pool, large bedrooms, a lovely kitchen, and under-floor heating for the really cool days. This was my favorite property, although the security would have to be brought up to World Vision standard. Finally, we drove back into town, to visit the Yellow House (we gave them all nicknames; Slide, Farm, and Yellow Houses). The Yellow house is a nice house, with big bedrooms, a big kitchen, and a big backyard. I didn't like this house as much as the other nicknamed ones, but it was nice, and close to the school.
Tomorrow, the security man from World Vision will inspect some of the houses, and we'll move forward from there. No picture today, since I don't have access to pictures of the houses, and I'd rather not post them until things have become more definite, but I hope my long post will make up for lack of picture!
