it seems like such along time ago

It was only a year ago we had to sleep under the stars. It really does seem like a long time ago. I don't know how I survived. I can honestly say that I did not expect to do this much work to our house.

Building a doll bed

OK, OK, I got a call from sister in law telling I have to up date my blog. It's two in the morning and I'm already up for the day so I figured I better get to it. This is another one of those post I started but was pulled away by one of my kids. Probably the big one. If you know what I mean.

One of the things I love about my husband is.... even thou he is in the middle of working on two major construction jobs he will still stop and take some time for the kids.

Cole had been following him for several hour with a piece of scrap wood. She just kept dragging it from room to room behind him. This was after she nailed several pieces of molding in the middle of the floor. So anyway she pulls the piece up to him and says "Daaaaaddyyyyyyy" You know in that way only a little girl can do, with a little eye batting thrown in there. Oh, he was a goner. "Daaaaddyyyyyyy, can we build something?" taking measurements

assembly

painting

A nice little doll bed made from just scraps of lumber and left over paint mixed together. I know he had planned to make a cradle together with Cole, but for a quick spur on the moment project I think it came out great.

play day in the park

Just some photos of the kids today at the park.

We spent the first night in our house last night in about a month. I'm sure Aunt Nancy and Uncle Ray are very happy to have us out of their hair for awhile. Oh, wait we'll be back there again we have to finish building their addition. Ah, poor guys just can't get rid of us.

rockin my world

booming the sheet rock in....

Yay, all our sheet rock is up! It has been so long since I've had sheet rock on the walls. I'm so excited. We have been working like crazy. Most of the house had the first coat of spackle already. Another week and we should be painting. Love it!!!

Catching up

Now that the holidays are over, I can try to catch up. Ha! What a laugh! I have yet to do my holiday cards. I just don't know what the heck happened. Yes, I do. I am now working with Ed during the day, the kids even go with us. It is very hard working with Ed. OK, I didn't mean that the way it sounded. Oh wait yes I did! I love him to death but he works you hard. I have to admit I am enjoying doing the construction. It's so much different from what I use to do.

This is what we have been working on for the last month. This photo was taken about half way through. That would be me slinging mud there in the front. We just finished back filling this week and we should be framing within the next week or so. It will be nice to have it enclosed and working inside. At least I hope it will be a little warmer.
