we're buying a house. and it's more stressful than i thought it would be. looking on realtor.com isn't as much fun when you have a $250,000 limit and most of the decent homes in that range have contigent offers on them. we're worried about moving the kids to different schools. sometimes, kenzie is fine with it, sometimes she demands we keep her at silvestri. one day we all sat together at the table to make a list of what was important to us in our search. here's what we all had to say...
(some of the homes we've had our eyes on)
max's list:
fire extinguisher by the kitchen
nice people/not stupid
grass backyard
skulls on his walls + poster of george washington

bricks on the front of the house
