Just a note: This is a long post so sit back, relax, read, and enjoy!
Well this is the end of another (busy) week, (and the start of another post:)   A couple pictures of DS1 (progress) dog house. It is coming along very nicely! (we could not figure out how to flip the picture)  Dad was putting in the finishing touches (outlets). Or should I say starting the finishing touches. 
My grandpa was....well, sort of like our janitor, sweeping, moving trim, and everything else in between. (He did a great job sweeping off the porch)
Here is a couple pictures of our girls's bedroom with the trim on. (we still need to add the blue stripe on the wall yet)
This is our girls's closet, the blue in this closet is going to be the color of the stripe that is going to be in our bedroom. If you are wondering why we did the blue in our closet instead of the brown it was because we wanted our closet kind of lighted up.
 We enjoyed supper with our grandparents at Ponderosa one night.  Oh yes! and I cannot forget about DS3, he showed me how a toilet worked this week:)  Can you believe it!!!! It (sprinkled) snowed!!!
These are several pictures from a few weeks ago that we wanted to share:)
This is what the sky looked like before we lost our power one night.
DS3,DD3, and DS2 pictures.
 
I am hoping to get the rest of my siblings school pictures taken but it is just a long process.......
at least right now with moving and all.
 This is a turtle that we found......well lets just say there is lots of turtles down here. 
I thought this picture (on a beautiful fall day) was so pretty!

Day 1, Thursday: Grandpa and Grandma came down to help with the house. When DS4 saw grandma walk in the door the first thing he said was "gum". Now every time he sees her he asks, "gum" "gum". We teased grandma and said that DS4 has given her a new name. (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday some friends came and helped sand and paint the primer.) we didn't have a camera to take pictures until Wednesday evening.  A busy morning (Everyone ate at separate times). Then we went over to the house to start the days work.     Grandpa and Grandma helping paint.   DD2 painting our girl's closet.   DS1 building a dog house for Mutt.  DD2 touching up the paint. (the colors are so light that you can't see them very well in the pictures.) Then for lunch we all went back to the guest house.  DD1 and DD2 took turns staying home with the younger children. After lunch and a little rest we went back to the house to finish up some work that had to be done so the carpenters could come and put the trim on. The trim had gotten very dirty from people stepping on it.(Mostly the younger children).  Pile of dirty trim...............  Pile of clean trim.  Grandpa sweeping the floors. Day 2, Friday: It was DD1 turn to go to the house.  Getting ready to leave. (DS3 put his coat and shoes on, but he did not come with us.)  DS1 working on the dog house again. The carpenters came this day and started putting doors and trim on. The heating and air guys also came.  Grandpa working hard.  We had several boxes of tools and other gadgets that had to be sorted through.  DM working.  The carpenters getting ready to put up the doors.  The heating and air guys laid all of their stuff on the ground. After lunch it was my turn to stay and watch the kids. Grandma also stayed. The children were bored so I dressed them up and they did a short play.   That evening when everyone got back we waited for DF to get home so we could go out to eat.  Then after calling DF and finding out he would be late coming home we decided to go to the restaurant and have him meet us there.  DS2 enjoying an ice cream dessert.  DS3 went and got some too. He called it an ice cream cannon. Day 3, Saturday: Both of us girls had to stay home and watch the children. There was nothing at the house for us girls to do. We did another short play.  DS4 wanted to dress up too. His play name was Pricilla. We are glad for the opportunity to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma.
