Two weeks since last post! Last week was a little bit of a crazy week. I took Hailey back to Oregon on Monday, so that she could stay with our granddaughter each evening while her daddy is at work and her mama has to be on bed rest. Gonna get that little one to cook just a little bit longer before we welcome him into this great big world. Drove back to Montana on Wednesday!
Chad continued work on the apartment and had sheetrock delivered Thursday. As of today we are almost done (I use we very lightly)! We have the kitchen cabinets and appliances ordered and will pick those up on Monday. While we are in the big town, we will pick up tape, texture and paint. Still looking to have this project done by the end of May, so that when we return from Oregon and welcoming our 3rd grand baby we will have a completed temporary home to move into.
Lets just talk about sheet rock for one second! Seriously people, why the hell do we think, oh no big deal we got this! My husband is a strong SOB and I am by no means whimpy, but for the love of muscles that shit is heavy. My hard head came in quite handy as I was holding sheetrock on the ceiling. Every muscle in my upper body is screaming, BUT it is almost done! Thank you lord!!!!
We have officially finished school up for the year for the two littles, Ms. Hailey still has some to go, but cruising right along. I am continually at awe at how much the kids just love being. The dirt, the land, the open space just all of it. They are super lucky kids to be growing up here. We decided we are going to take Sundays as our explore/rest day. We ventured up to Clark Fork a small town just on the Idaho border and did a little 3.5 mile hike with spectacular views. We have a lot of land to cover to get to know this area better and be able to share ideas on where to go and what to see. It will be a fun way to educate ourselves.
One more fun little tidbit. Remember when you were young and you had school clothes and play clothes! Well not sure any of my kids really experienced this, it just was. But we have all gone back in time a bit and we now have “town clothes” you know the clothes where you don’t quite look like someone who has not showered or laundered their clothes in weeks! The amount of clothes that are no longer “town worthy” are quite spectacular! We laugh and joke about it quite a bit, “those aren’t your town pants are they?”
Until next time my friends, cheers to you!
