Saturday January 31

I would say that today was a highly successful day.

Almost like things were back to normal.

Dad if feeling good and enjoying getting stuff done on the house.

He is still hurting, but it is far less pain than he has been having.

It was a nice day outside, so the kids were able to be out and play.

They actually did some kite flying....

The cheating way, by holding it behind them on the 4-wheeler :)

They had a lot of fun.

Except little Elsie Bug.

Poor Elsie was still running a fever and had a pretty lousy night last night :(

But she was pretty chill even though I know she didn't feel good, spent a good amount of time on her bed resting, but perked up and worked with us later on in the day.

This morning we got the rooms clean, dishes done, laundry done....regular Saturday stuff.

Then we headed upstairs.

Still a bunch of stuff that needs to be done to be ready for drywalling.

All the kids helped.

Even Elsie chipped at some cement on the bricks.....which is something I planned to do, so she was very helpful in doing it :)

We cleared almost all the stuff out so they workers will have room to work.

Madi did a lot of sweeping.

Cassi and Porter pounded a bunch of nails that we on the boards on the outside of the existing house.

Everyone worked together and they were all super helpful, and it made me so happy.

Like I said, almost like we were back to normal!!!!

Later on the kids, except Elsie, went over to the Morgans house for a little bit before dinner.

Then dinner, and I had to make a grocery run.

It was a pretty great day :)

Now, if only Elsie would get better!!!!!!

Port is smashed between the big girls :)

I think he is pretty safe......
