This is our big barn! I love this barn, because it looks so country! My plan is to get a family picture in front of it before it falls down. If you look closely the right side is coming down. Mrs. Brooks (owner before us) told us that there was a tornado a few years back and it knocked the foundation out. So the right wall is sitting on a crooked foundation. We really don't expect this barn to fall down anytime soon and maybe in a few years will have it taken down, but in the mean time I will enjoy its beauty and we will store unimportant stuff in the left side. Behind the barn are some beautiful old trees and a hill going up to the barn that we hope to toboggan on this winter.The yard in front of the barn is our side yard it is very flat and long and will be perfect for soccer, baseball, and any sport. Maybe one day I can finally have my dream of a back yard skating rink!! :-) I am very excited about all the hours our family will spend in this yard!
Here is our one and only bathroom that is on the second level. It is much bigger then our current bathroom. Notice the lack of shower! Bryan is enjoying his last few weeks of taking a shower! There are no cupboards in the bathroom but in front of the toilet Mrs. Brooks had a dresser as you can see and I have a big cupboard for there that will fit all our bathroom things. I think I am going to get a lot of exercise going upstairs a hundred times a day to use the bathroom and to wipe kids bums!! We do plan on adding a bathroom on the main level, but that probably won't happen for atleast a year due to a needed new roof!
Now I will show you my lovely kitchen!! This is the pantry which is under the stairs going up. The kitchen is just off the back entry, so you have to go through it to get to the living room and dinning room. To the right of this picture is the door to the back entry. To the left of the door is the doorway to the living room.
This picture is taken from the doorway of the living room. So to the left of the stove is the door to the back entry. Mrs. Brooks has a table and chairs in there, but I will only have a table for working on as the counter space is very limited. We are also switching the stove and fridge around as our fridge does not fit where the current one is.
Here is the other side of the kitchen. This picture is taken from the doorway of the back entry. So to the left is the dinning room and the right is the living room and the pantry is just behind the door that you see here. That is all the counter space I have about 3 feet! There is no dishwasher, I will probably really miss that, but am also looking forward to some time spent with the girls doing dishes. The cupboards go all the way to the ceiling so there is more cupboard space then our current kitchen, but I will need a step stool to reach.
That ends the 2 most important rooms in the house, or at least the rooms that I will probably spend most of my time in! :-) I will try to post some more later of the living room, dinning room and bedrooms. There is a really cute closed in front porch and a play room on the back. There is a lot of storage room in the basement. There really are no closets anywhere except the baby room. We were going to take them out, but decided to leave them as the crib should fit. That way we don't have to buy wardrobes right away. I have this dream (actually I have been having a lot of them lately) of having all antique furniture for the bedrooms so I kind of want to keep my eye out for it. antiques are usually pretty expensive so it will probably take a long time.

I have been spending a few nights dreaming about decorating this house and where everything is going to go. I find it funny how when I think about living there the children are always happy and wanting to help we are such a cheerful family enjoying our country property. The kids are never hollering and running around like crazy kids, they never fight or argue! I never get annoyed and push them out the door but instead we all sit around doing things as a family! :-) A girl can dream right!! I am sure the reality will be different, we are all sinners right! But sinners saved by grace, and hopefully His grace will see me through those long winters living in a small house.
