Another weekend

We finally got doors on the master suite! Mike worked sunday (with the help from everyone) getting them put in. It seemed like all i did was paint. (like usual) I spent half the day saturday touching up paint in the upstairs hallway.(the kids painted the walls and trim) Sunday morning we installed the ballaster around the upstairs. I spent part of thursday & friday painting them and Mike and the kids finished them sunday. I also painted the banisters that I sanded last week. Mike routed the side so no more splinters. I finally got the last one out this morning.

The big pile of wood that has been collecting on the side of the house is finally gone. Most of it was lathes and rotted floor boards that we removed. It took about 2-3 weeks but we had a huge sign next to it and also advertised on the internet for free wood. It's not great wood but most just wanted as kindling.

The pictures are all the kids playing catch together out back. Lola & Jake in a box together, then they went to sleep. Mike (with Isabelle) building the frame for the doors and the doors installed. I will stain them sometime. And the railing we all helped with. We know it's not the prettiest thing but it's only temporary. In the last picture is my only vegetable plant that has produced anything this year and it just sprouted a gazillion blossoms and we woke up this morning to the temp being 32. Boy was that a shocker. When I woke the kids up i told them to dress warm it's really cold. My poor lil doggies are soo cold. I think it's time to pull out the sweaters for them. I dress the dogs for warmth more than style.
