Painting is done!!!!Only 3 steps left!!

What a busy weekend..I had to work at the hospital on Friday a day shift it was VERY busy! We didn't have one room open. Sent three home, admited three more and delivered a baby. I was able to eat my dinner at 7:30pm while charting. I have not had that busy of a day in a long time, a 15 hour day. On Saturday Mark and I just spent time with the kids. I then had to go to work at the nursing home that night. Was quieter than at the hospital. It was than a busy sunday, some freinds of ours came out in the afternoon to help paint. We got all the painting done in about 2 1/2 hours. It looks really nice and know I'm really excited to get it all done.

Spring how beautiful!

The kids got to enjoy the park. The weather was warm and no wind. It was a much needed break from being at the house. Talking about the house, the project is getting done. I have got all three rooms primed and ready for paint. Hope to get some of that done today. We also have had a little sickness going through the house. Ciara with a sinus infection-she's been battling the cold for about 2 weeks. Cadee had been running fevers for the last two days. The doctor did not treat her yet because there was really nothing wrong except the fevers. The other two have had only coughs,hope that it stays that way. Mark and I are healthy, just tired. He's got a test coming up so that has him a little stressed out. Plus with the house project under way he just wants it all done. (so do I) Cadee is doing well on potty training, hope to have her in panties this summer! Enjoy the pictures.

The Next Step

Since Papa and I finished the insulation yesterday, today we were able to take a break. The guys went last night and got the sheet rock. They should maybe start tonight or tom. It is so exciting to know that it's going to be done soon. I was a ble to get a picture of myself. I now have proof that I was doing the insulation!! Now that we have more room in our home we will be expecting your to visit!! :) Also I have to add that those geese seem to affect the guys, they think that they have to hunting when they land in the fields near the house. I took these pictures up the road from our house on one of our corn feilds. The kids enjoyed watching them. Cadee calls them Papa's geese, she goes crazy watching them.

Progress

It's been a week since we started the whole process of making the house bigger. I will finish putting in the isulation today. Would have had it done yest, but had to wait for Mark and Rod to finish with some electrical. Boy is it cold out there, thankfully the insulation is now helping that fact. Today the guys are getting the sheet rock and all that goes with that. I can't believe that it's moving along so fast. I know that Ciara is so excited to have a room all by herself. I will try to keep you posted!

The Spring Make Over!!

A lot has happened in the last couple of months... Mark and I decided that it was time to make the house a little bigger. The four kids in one bedroom was getting to be to much. So the garage is now going to be three rooms and an entry (where the dog and cats can still stay). Mark and a friend are doing all of the work-I get stuck doing the insulation, at least I can do it while Mark is at work. We have only been at it a week and already it's showing real progress. The kids are so excited. Ciara has decided on a lite purple with tinkerbell and pink accents. Cayla and Cadee will share a room, they will have a lite blue room with butterflies and red accents. Chris decided on yellow with accents of orange and navy blue with a race car on the wall. I decided that it was better to buy the stickers if they out grow or later want something different it will come off a lot easier.
The kids are doing really well. Have had a little sickness, but nothing major. Ciara is learning so much..she can count and write to 100, read simple word books. She even wrote a little story about animals and being a vet ( what she has always said she wants to be someday). Chris is now 5, how time flys. He is helping alot with the garage. He's not so fond of school, but what boy does. He is just a typical boy who loves to hunt things, work on little things, and pester his sisters. Cayla is still a little trouble maker, getting better though. She is getting to be quite a big sister to Cadee. Cadee is growing so much..she is talking more with bigger words. The last couple of days she has been using the potty!!!! She is doing really well. I can't believe that she will be 2 in April!!
