Grandpa, Erin and Maggie feeding the birds!
Daddy and Lyndsay napping near the woodstove!
Goofing around with Uncle Chris
trying to get our Christmas card picture - Erin was not cooperative!
Well, the well has been inspected, the chickens are outside in the stall (gotta check on them this morning to make sure the owl I heard this morning didn't get any:), the kids' bathroom is put back together - no more leaks in the tub, no falling through the floor (new subfloor and linoleum), new used vanity to replace the 2x4's holding the old sink up, now just have to paint it and it will be ready to use. We will use that bathroom cuz now hubby will have to pull our garden tub out of our bathroom and fix it as well. There are 2 huge cracks in it. We are trying to fix things as cheaply as possibly - this is temporary! We have been battling frozen pipes and once the inspections and leaks have all been fixed, we will put skirting on and hook up the woodstove to help with heating costs! I keep it at 68 and we are freezing. I am turning into a slipper wearer - if my feet are warm, the rest of me is warmer:) Sweaters are a common sight among us now, too! Once the skirting is on, hubby will put the radiator under the trailer with a blower and that will warm the floor, then some baseboard heaters in a few of the rooms will help immensely! We went sledding the other day, saw a few baby calves across the road, keeping busy with school, etc. Today we are almost done with school and heading out to do some errands, banking, groceries, etc. It's always good to get everyone out of the house once in awhile! The boys could play video games all day 24/7 but are ornery as all get out! I was up early today thanks to the cats running around being very noisy in their wrestling and prowling. Shadow was upset with Jeremy for closing the shade in our bedroom. She loves to lay on our bed and look out the window - even at night with the moon, you can see quite far out there! She's laying there right now! Yesterday, Brooke had an orthodontist appointment - they hooked up to her impacted tooth via a wire/chain deal - very painful and has to go back in 4 wks instead of 8 to have it adjusted again. The tooth is almost in the middle of the roof of her mouth - yuck!She was in pain last night! My pantry is runnin low and need to resupply it today! I hate it when I go to make something and don't have everything! I was going to make french toast this morning - not enough syrup! I hate making scrambled eggs- use a whole dozen to feed everyone! Oh well - they were good! I have been trying to go back on my diet but it's been really hard to stay away from what everyone else is eating:) I made some apple bread 2 days ago - got the recipe from someone on Facebook and it was delicious!!! Well, going to post some pictures - so enjoy:)
