We are the animal house



What other kind of animal can we find in our house....
So far... the unteen bird nests, the mommy squirrel and 3 babies, a tree frog, a bird flying around, and the numerous cats and kittens that don't belong to anyone. So far we have caught 3 cats and found homes for 2 so far. The latest 1 was last night so she hasn't found a home yet.
We are still working on the house everyday. Yesterday we took the older kids to the orthodontist because they need braces. The evaluated them and took inpressions. Then we hit every Lowe's in the area. Got some really great deals. Then had to rush home because the 1/2 half of windows were being delivered. (20 of them) When we pulled up the lowe's truck was waiting.
Yesterday Isabelle said something funny. She was complaining that today was friday. When we asked why she was complaining she said because you make us work on our 2 days off a week. lol

When is it warmer outside than in??

When you live in our house. But it hasn't been to unbearable. We all wear slippers and sweat shirts in the house. Marissa & I were out on the front porch Sunday morning in our pj's getting warm. We have been so busy lately trying to get so much done. We spent Sunday organizing the house a bit so it doesn't look so cluttered. Mike is still working on getting the electrical & plumbing done so it can be inspected so we can move on. Then he can replace the floor joists in the hallway by the water heater and in the laundry room.(it's the room we are using as a kitchen right now)
Today i am off to get a pot rack for the kitchen that someone is selling for only $5. I'm so happy. Things are coming together slowly but they are coming.

Oh if anyone has tried to call my cell phone and got no answer it's because i miss placed it in the house. Call the house phone or Mike's cell.

Since my last entery

What has been going on. Let's see...Dogs & kitties are fine...Isabelle & Brandon are done with the dentist til their cleanings in February. (they each had cleanings and fillings) Marissa & Patrick also had cleaning and fillings this past week plus they need braces. So we go to the orthodontist at the end of the month. (all the way back in Chesapeake) I finally made it to Courtland to get Abbie a license.
Friday Mike & I went to Lowe's to get a quote on the final windows we needed. The were having a sale so we got $300-$400 off. But that went only until Sunday so Mike went back on Sunday and order them plus the wood to redo the front porch and the water heater.
Saturday Mike, Isabelle & me went to the Habitat for Humanity store in Emporia. It was ALOT smaller than the one in vabch but we got some doors. We need a total of 6 exterior doors (minus the front door we already replaced & the dining room door that we aren't). Most are smaller than the average size. (30" and 34")
Sunday the girls and i went to hampton rds for the day. I am a Craig's list freak. I love finding free things but next to nothing is good too. The deal i got was 10-15 pairs of shoes for Isabelle for $10.(they were converse, vans, etnies, some sandals and dress shoes) Isabelle loves shoes and changed about 6 times before we got home. We also went to alot of the local thrift stores.
Well i must being going grocery shopping now. Have a great day everyone!
