…but we didn’t know when.
First, back to Wednesday. Drizzly day.
(Can’t say rainy day ‘cos it didn’t amount to enough to be called rain.)
Drizzly day means it’s time for a zoo!
And popcorn.
Thanks Tori for the popcorn pictures. Precious!
So Tuesday and Wednesday men from Grimm’s were here working on the new furnace/a.c.; they didn’t get finished and I’m not quite sure when they’re coming back. Wednesday morning new gutters were installed. They look nice but I have no px yet.
Today Jacob got to help Jeff and Andy put in windows, but Jesse was doing math, getting gluten, and doing silage for Gregg.
Looking very good!
Meanwhile, the rest of us did some heavy cleaning. Josh helped too!
Time for play after Friday jobs are done.
A N D
it was about 77 degrees and sunny out!!! Just BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Maria and Hanna joined us for the first picnic we’ve had in a L O N G time!
After Jeff & Andy left, we got to work cleaning up the mess they left and prepping the living room for demolition. Levi got home around then too, which was very nice as we needed his help moving furniture downstairs.
Yep --- we knew it was coming, but we didn’t know when ---
today was the day ---
The piano had to wait until Dad got home. So, after supper, the real fun started - - -
More demolition prep.
The temporary walls weren’t completely in before windows started coming out.
Our new look (for awhile).
Meanwhile -
Who knew scraps of pink wallboard could be so much fun?!
Demolition continued.
Well yes it was very dusty but not as dusty as this picture makes it look. WHY? I wish I knew WHY some px have these funny spots all over them. I have a suspicion it has something to do with the flash, but I certainly don’t know how to fix it.
Anyway.
So that’s the latest around here. And maybe you weren’t counting kids, but Ben was lying down with a headache all evening but he was feeling better by bedtime
when Dad & I got home from Menard’s. (Heehee. And you thought we didn’t have any Menard’s trips this week - - - Wrong!!!!!!! We went Wednesday night and tonight too!)
I guess I never mentioned that Joshua had fever for 24 hours on Wednesday. Odd. No other symptoms, just an energy-draining, lay-on-the-couch, 4-hour-nap fever. He woke up with it Wednesday morning, went to bed with it Wednesday night, and woke up fine yesterday morning, and has been fine since. Well actually he’s not completely fine; now he thinks he’s a cow. Don’t think it’s related to the fever, but he’s mooing in lieu of talking and didn’t eat his barbeque for supper because cows don’t eat barbeque.
Hmmm.
He didn’t want to go to the barn to eat pellets, though, and by 8:30 when he wanted a snack, he was ready to eat his barbeque.
Well anyway before bed tonight Jewel had a headache… and fever…
Oh I so hope we didn’t share anything with Maria and Hanna.
Meanwhile, it’s late, and I’m tired, so
Good Night.
Looks like fun!! Love you all, Carrie
