Snow, salmon, and another house offer

Snow from last week - spring snow is nice when the streets/sidewalks are too warm for the snow to stick.  :)

 Yes, Jack is eating off of my plate.  He LOVES salmon, and decided to come over and eat mine too.  :)  He's pretty good with utensils now, but still prefers his "little fork" - the toddler kind.

So the last house we put an offer on, had offers (including ours) for over asking price.  They decided to go for a bidding war, and we decided to back out.  We loved the neighborhood, but the hosue itself was about an 8/10 as far as what we really wanted.  

 

 So yesterday we looked at another house that was just a bit above what we were looking to spend.  There were only exterior pictures on the MLS, so I was hoping that the interior might need some work and make the price negotiable.

 

And the interior does need some work - lots of cosmetic projects.  If we got this house, Jack would be using a bathroom with a pink countertop for a while.  :)  But the layout is great, the rooms are good-sized, and it has pretty much everything we're looking for.  Plus a 1/4 acre with a great backyard and mature trees (hard to find here), a 3 car garage, and a great neighborhood which goes to the elementary school where Jack is currently attending preschool.  So we made an offer for quite a bit below asking price...and now we wait.
