Almost There




The muscle arrived today. Isaac & Aaron Johnson, Jon Foust, Zander Sullivan, Nick Nestorak, Drew and Allan (don't know their last names but they come with the others all the time) showed up at 6:30pm. They were very prompt for the most part, although I think that is because we fed them. We grilled hot dogs and heated up some chili. Then added chips, salsa, cheese and well it worked. Oh we had soda too. So we fed them, talked for a while then put them to work. They made short order of the desk, hutch, box spring and head board that were all going out to the barn. The tall dresser in our room was down the stairs fairly quickly because Jon, the football player, used his shoulders to guide it down. Then came the big dresser. They simply turned it upside down so it slid on its top and carefully slid it down the stairs -again using Jon the House Foust! Then they were done. It almost seemed like a lot for nothing. I probably didn't need to feed them, but I like to have them over and they were going to play Warhammer after at church. Instead, Doug opted to help with bedtime and showers and the boys went to Jon's to play the game. Oh well, can't complain. Having Doug here at bed time does make it easier.
As you can see though we still have a lot of work to go. Lots of organizing and putting away of stuff. That shouldn't take too long. I hope to be done by Friday, since Grace is having her first friend over to spend the night. They are going to watch High School Musical 2 together. I am sure I will have a lot to write about that night!!
I hope you are all enjoying the blog. Leave a note and let me know you are "listening" Blessings to you all!!
