The 985 W. 18th Addition...

I know that it has been a long time since I posted pictures of the progress with the addition to our home. Well, here are a few...



We spent all day yesterday insulating the walls and the ceiling. I can add another thing to my list that I have done with home improvement jobs...insulation. I must say I was tired of it by the end of the day. They are working on the drywall today, and hopefully in about a week or so it will be painted and ready for some carpet. It is fun to see it take shape. We are ready to use the space and play on the new carpet just in time for the rainy season. I will try and get some outside pictures the next time it is light and not raining.

Kids with bubbles...

This past Saturday we went to friend's birthday party. The mom had containers with soap and fly swatters for the kids to make bubbles. I had never seen this, and thought it was a great idea. The kids loved it, and the swatters made great bubbles. They didn't have to blow so there was no lesson in trying to blow close enough to make a bubble but not too close so that you eat the soap. It was a good time had by all...

My two kids...




Last Friday we went to the apple orchard to pick out a pumpkin. It was a good fall day where it might rain at any given moment, and it was just cool enough that you were really cold outside. The sun was trying to peek through, but never really made it while we were outside. The kids loved being there and running around. This will be our first year to actually carve a pumpkin. What joy and excitement that brings to the little ones.
