The House Continues

Over Labor Day weekend we graded, tilled, and planted grass seed in the backyard. Last night Jason's parents, Xander, and I prepared the front and side yards for seeding and this evening will plant the backyard. Jason should be home from D.C. late late tonight.

The dry wallers are still dry walling. They are now saying it should be done by this coming Thursday. We are having some trouble with it drying since we have had cool nights and we have quite a bit of shade at our house. So, hopefully we can begin painting soon!

2 Boys + Finger Paints = FUN!

Xander headed over to Caden's house to give finger painting a try. It was a first for both boys.

They had a great time shoving each other's tag boards into each others and screaming/laughing...who even needs paint? The "slapping" painting technique.
Can you say "artistically gifted", just look at them. :)
Time to get serious
A big stretch and done!

Xander and Caden had a great time and they were ready to get down and play again after maybe 10 mintues.

Holy Drywall Batman!

Drywall was delivered on Wednesday and they have it 95% hung by end of day on Thursday. It is so awesome to walk through a house with walls. I am super proud of all of Jason's hard work so far. We are hoping they will be done by early next week so we can begin painting. This weekend Jason is going to work on planting grass and moving some dirt in the yard.

Lots and Lots of Insulation

The insulation is done and passed inspection! The drywall was delivered today to the house (and we are not putting that up)!
