Another successful day

Today was another beautiful day to work outside. Our work crew got even bigger this weekend, Steve's brother, Seth and his girlfriend, Keely came in from Nebraska to join in the fun. The guys spent the bulk of the day tearing off and reshingling the north side of our house. There was much to clean up after that job.
My morning was spent inside. I was cooking breakfast and went down to my big freezer to get some more english muffins and much to my horror saw that the freezer door was part way ajar. It was so full, it somehow got bumped open. I spent a few minutes in tears, stressing that I did not have time for this activity today, but it ended up ok. I'm now a few meals ahead b/c of having to cook up some of the meat. Thanks to mom and Bev who postponed their shopping trip to help me get things back in order. Thankfully, I didn't have to throw anything away, we were able to salvage it all.

Jim, I couldn't resist this pic. Those shingles look waaaaay too heavy for you. Maybe you should stick to operating machinery.




Steve and Jim spent quite a bit of time filling in the hole that will soon become our front porch

We got two walls put in for the new living room. Certainly a team effort:

I was cooking supper and came out for something and saw that my older 3 had began DIVING down one of the dirt piles. What a mess, but they had fun.
