My weekend...

What did I spend most of my weekend doing?? 



Loving on these two little munchkins!
Brand new baby Ethan!

Big sister Lily!
 
We had a slumber party while my sister and her husband were still in the hospital!

Chad wasn't able to come with as he had to work, but from the sounds of it, he had fun playing pool with a co-worker.  
Have a great weekend!!

Pizza, pineapple, and games!

I had the privledge of hanging out with our friends little guy on Wednesday night!  He's such a hoot!  Between eating pizza, pineapple, and playing games, I don't know who had more fun, us or him!


Halloween time!

It's Halloween time! Chad has started decorating the outside of the FEMA trailer =) He did this the other day.....

Mundane Monday...err Tuesday

No new pictures today, just a quick howdy do.  

The HVAC is pretty much all the way in.  Just waiting for a few things to finish up with that.  Electrician should be coming soon...we are apparently next on the list.  

It's been rainy, crisp, fall weather here...except today.  It was over 60 degrees (I'm not complaining, I had recess duty and it was AMAZING). 

We moved the king bed into the trailer on Sunday...We've slept hard the last few nights, thinking why didn't we do this before???

The caterpillar I caught at the trailer has now cacooned (I don't know how to spell that).  I brought him to school so we have been observing him the last week.  The kids named him Hairy Henry and he's in a bug cage now.  

Chad's going to see an oral surgeon next week to talk about removing his wisdom teeth and I get a crown set on the 20th..

I've also got some ear tube issues going on...the chiropractor pulled my ears yesterday...ever had that done by a doctor of any sort??  Ouch and amazing all in one.

Sorry for the mundane post....If you'd like some excitement you can check out my class blog here.  I'm 2 posts short of having the same amount of posts as this blog...yikes.

End of the day...we are both tired....well, we look like we are too!

Front Yard work

Did a little work in the front yard last weekend! Raked up all the dead stuff and pulled two little bushes out! Also pulled out the diveder and the watering system (which didn't work). This will look completly different in a few summers! Not all those flowers are going back in!

Fall weekend, summer temps!

Welcome to our weekend! We spent ALL DAY yesterday outside (because we are at a standstill on the inside for about two weeks...hopefully). We cleaned up the yard outback--today we are doing a little bit in the front yard...but the clean water hose and sewer pipe and FEMA house that are on the front lawn...err front dirt...make it a little difficult to accomplish much. So, here is the progression of shed demolition from yesterday =) enjoy! 

Before we cleaned the shed out....
We are surprised the shed didn't float away! It is made out of wood (the base) and thes rest flimsy tin!  It wasn't even hooked to the ground by anything!!






See, nothing! Those are just cement blocks to help keep it level in the middle...
Sadie doesn't like the bobcat....she hid here the whole time.


Here are a few before, during, and after pictures of the back yard....



Chad was so nice, he let me mow the weeds down....but forgot to mention how to make the lawnmower self propelled....I got quite the workout mowing yesterday.

See the back fence now? We tore out the raspberry bush that was back there and Chad also got rid of the dirt pile that was back there. 

We still have A LOT to do back here.  There are a lot of waves and holes now so hopefully next weekend we can get the yard tilled and leveled.  We are planning on hopefully getting that apple tree removed sometime before the snow flies also!
