Fun with Eli

While Maddy was off playing midwife for her sister and auntie to her new nephew we got to spend 5 days with Eli.

These two are so much more than cousins - they are good friends!

We added another room

We decided one dining room wasn't enough....

This is to show you we do more than work on our house :o)

Plus, I didn't have my camera the two times we went out to Camano :o(

Field Trips

It's that time of year again...Field Trips

Tessa's class went to LaConnor and toured the museum (where I couldn't take pictures). Then they had the afternoon at a nearby park. Since they are studying art, their assignment was to draw this bridge. A very fun day!

Trevon's class is studying plants. They visited a local farm that still use draft horses. The kids planted potatoes, beans, onions, squash and lettuce.

One whole class pulled as hard as they could to move the harrow that the draft horse pulls without any effort!

A couple of classmate buddies at lunch time.

A news-worthy post!

Friday was a BIG day for this little family!!!

We welcomed the carpet layers at 8:20am

At 4:30pm we bid them farewell

At 4:31pm Tessa and I started moving in

At 5:00pm Randy planted seed

At 8:00pm we had a slumber party in the master bedroom!

On that floor, but dumb dumb me, I deleted the pictures off my camera. We'll have to have another one this Friday. :o)

Here's a look at what we've done so far...

The playroom is very much moved into, but not ready for a picture.

The yard actually looks much prettier than this now. Randy graded it and prepped it so nicely, but I can't walk out and get pictures now with seed planted. You'll just have to come and see it for yourself! It turned out neat with a place for a really cool rock wall (right side) that will be going in soon. Better pictures to come.
