getting to know me...well a little bit more :)

Wow it warmed up here awfully fast!!
We have been so lucky to have overcast cool weather for a few months while we should have been baking. Yesterday the heat stopped in and I can tell that it plans on sticking around for a while!!

104 yesterday and already 85 in the house at 8:00 in the morning!

Got all the watering done, the last load of laundry in the washer, mirrors clean, kitchen floor washed, ants sent to meet their maker, 1 cup of coffee down and another one started...I have to finish as much as possible before it gets too hot. So I sit down and blog...haha!!

If you did not read my old blog My Favorite Munchkins then you might not know that we are working on an addition to our home. It is almost done too!!!! Yay!!!

We have been adding to the inside instead of finishing up the cabinets and the last 2 sets of stairs from inside to the out. Here are some shots:
This is the beginning, digging up the patio and back yard.

We have been busy!!

Busy is good.

We have been working on this for over 2 years and I can see our adventure is almost over.

Proverbs 14:23
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

We have definitely earned profit not only in value to our home but in teaching our munchkins how to work as a family and produce something we all can enjoy!
