Colin is trying to extend his time on the swing by keeping it going himself. This is an important life skill!
Party Dog
It’s 6pm on a Friday and MacDougall has put himself to bed.
This is one smart dog.
Eating out.
The painting in the kitchen has left the house quite smelly for the last few nights.
The kids and I ate at a restaurant where they could make their own pizzas.
Tennis lessons
I’m not sure which part of learning tennis includes cones, but it seems to be a fun part.
Science Fair
The kids have a science fair at school this week. There are some really interesting projects here. The kids wanted to look at everything.
End of week 4.
We are 4/6ths of the way through what was supposed to be a 5 week project.
End of week 4 sees cabinets installed, and trim mostly complete. The walls are also preped for painting.
Week 5 will be painting and granite installation, and week 6 will be blacksplash and finish work.
Important game.
Someone say there’s an important game on today? You bet!
End of week 3
I meant to post these on the weekend.
I didn’t post “end of week 2” because week 2 was all rough-in work for electrical, plumbing and HVAC, so didn’t look much different from end of week 1.
Week 3 consisted mostly of waiting for the city of Dallas inspectors to visit and grant permits for all the work done. (They are not the swiftest moving bureaucracy ever.)
By the end of the week we are only 3 work days behind schedule and the drywall and plaster is mostly up.
This week will see cabinets and trim installed, and measurements taken for the granite counter to be cut. We may even see some paint on the walls!
Laura’s original composition.
Laura wanted me to share this with the world. She created this piece and has been practicing it. For those of you that read music, I can always send you the sheet music, just ask.
Enjoy! (Sorry about the background noise. It’s a construction zone in the house today)
You never know
When I look out into the back yard where the kids are playing I never know what I’ll see.
Here’s Colin dressed up in an Indiana Jones hat, my rubber boots, and a park ranger badge.
They were having a great game.
