Boys night out

These are the wonderful boys that stayed up all night at my house. Collin had a "Boys night out" They played games and carried on for 36 hours without any sleep. Todd made them go for a hike and then study the WT in hopes that they would fall asleep. TO NO AVAIL!!! They then went to a Congregation party that evening. It is now Tuesday and we are all still tired.

hoodalaly A BIG ONE


Clancy got a BIG One. Sorry for all you that this offends but in our world it is organic eating. We usually only hunt for the food but this time this guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time. C

Our new Distraction


We got another member of our household. While out in tract work I just so happened to come along a breeder of toy boston terriers. I had much self control just to love them and wish and walk away. I just so happened to have to make a return visit on the nice lady and I just so happened to come away with a puppy ( so much for self control) His name is Chili Pepper, I think. We will see no one likes it but me and the dog. Lucy is definately intruded upon and Pete thinks he is cool. The kids all want him to be their sole dog.

Newest update

I signed up to Aux again. It is going smoothly, I now have three studies and plenty of great returns. A seven hour day goes by fast and still more to accomplish.

The floor in the dining room is in. Todd polyurthaned it last night. Needless to say I have a great headache this morning. We are doing the floors in sections. In the center of the house where the peak of the roof is above we are going to change the type of wood to cherry( the rest of the floors are oak). That way since we have to live in this crazy house during construction we won't be cast out of the whole house all at once. We can do it in sections up to the wood change. Right now we have to go around to the back door to get to the kitchen or else craw through a window onto the deck, which isn't too bad since the windows are huge. but, since it is 17 degrees outside it is a bummer. The idea of the floor change will add class to our cabin. I am really excited about this feature.

The kids took our 5th bedroom and made a makeshift lounging area. The local carpet store gave away remenants of carpet so they got some and laid them haphazard on the floor. Then they brought up sections of the couch, the Tv, and ottoman. It is actually comfy.
