We had a great week! My dad was able to stay until Monday morning then he went back home to work at my Mee-Mees and his own backyard. Mom stayed and she and I managed the 6 kids everyday with Derek helping out in the evenings. They were all very well behaved and played beautifully together. Tuesday night they all, minus Levi, helped Derek build a track for his RC truck up in the back of our neighborhood, coined the Junkyard by Derek, Caleb and Lily. We enjoyed going to the local Splash Pad type place and having a picnic lunch on Wednesday. Of course Bible class that evening. Thursday we met a friend and neighbor with her three kids at Check E. Cheese and let the kids play games then we went on to a great local Italian restaurant for lunch. That afternoon we all went to see Toy Story 3 at an old nostalgic theater and had free kids meals at Captain D's. I love free kids meals and I now have a list on my phone of which restaurants have them each day of the week.
Friday I spent 4.5 hours at the new house, the majority of it with my builder and my cabinet maker. The rest with both of our builders. They are a husband and wife team. I am very thankful the kids were very well behaved for mom while I was gone.
During the week they finished framing the house and roofed it. There are a couple of small things that have to be fixed but nothing earth shattering. We are very happy with how everything is coming along and I LOVE the house!
Here are some updated pictures!
