Finally Finished
Today I planned on switching cars with Sarah just before 11:00 am decided to go a little earlier to see what kind of progress they have made on their house. I pulled in at 11:00 and just then a text came in from Sarah asking if I would bring some wash rags. I turned around and drove right back home. What a blessing they only live 4 miles away. Rhoda and Iris arrived there earlier to help Sarah with the construction clean-up. Rhoda was busy scrubbing the living room floor and Sarah was working on the kitchen floor when I arrived the second time.
Iris came with me to pick up Zion, Eden and River. We were also meeting Stephanie there to pick up Rizzy who will be staying with us this weekend while they are out of town. The pick ups went perfectly and we were soon on our way home. Mark had to make a run to Costco and I asked him to pick up a chicken for the girl's lunch. It was waiting for us when we arrived home and everyone was hungry. After lunch we drove up to the apartment to change clothes then to the barn. Oh did we have fun there. First the bouncy house. Iris, Zion and Eden all learned how to hang from the rafters and bounce.
They also learned how to turn the fans off, climb in and hide before it was completely flat then have fun crawling around until found and the fans turned back on.
They had the most fun hanging from the blown up rafter.
When we got tired of that game the horses were tied to the carts for horse fun.
Next came whiffle ball. I was the pitcher and the girls took turns batting, catching and running the bases. All 4 of them made home runs. No pictures of the whiffle ball game as I was too busy pitching and catching balls. Those girls are good at that game. We quit about the time we got the notice Rhoda was on her way to pick up Iris. By that time Phil brought over Kensley, Taegan and a few of Taegan's friends. Iris wasn't ready to leave but Rhoda was exhausted. Those girls put in a LONG day working. Good news is they FINISHED! When Sarah came she told us they would be moving in tomorrow and would spend the night in their brand new house on Saturday. I sure hope she posts pictures of the before and after. This was a huge project. They moved the front door, built a deck, tore out interior walls, put in extra bathrooms, completely refinished the floors and walls, tore out everything in the kitchen and replaced it with beautiful quartz countertop, all new cupboards and brick splashguards. The girls had supper here while Sarah and Nolan finished up a few things then went out to eat to celebrate. I'm am so happy for them and so thankful for all the help they got from their siblings!
The temperatures are dropping tonight. It was above freezing today but this evening it felt cold in the house so we brought in wood, enough for tomorrow too and started a fire tonight.
