Good morning!

Hello family!

It snowed last night! Wild stuff, I tell ya! Nothing new on the Eberling front. Jim had the stomach flu yesterday. It's a yukky one. I know I was miserable with it.

The kids are doing well. Peyton is crazy. Allie is a computer geek. I guess the genetics are all there.

I love Peyton. Some of the things he thinks up are absolutely hilarious. I got a small screwdriver set from work. One you can put in your pocket or purse and you can change the bit heads for different types of screws. So, I gave it to Peyton. I was awakened the other morning to my 6 year old son saying,

"Mom, I really want to screw something. Can you help me find something to screw?"

How do you keep a straight face to that? He looked so earnest and by dang, he wanted something to screw! Wow. That's priceless.

So, I found him an old pot lid that had a handle held on to it with a screw. He proudly exclaimed later, "Mom!! Look! I screwed it!"

Gotta love the kid
Later!

Holy Cow!

We must have better things to do than blog. Whatcha all up to?

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. We are trying like crazy to get this house done(at least look done) by the end of the month. Just had our 4-way inspection and passed so we can start insulating and hanging sheetrock. We got a bid from Muddy Boys but they wanted $2800 and we just can't stomach that, so C will be doing it. He said he didn't like paying a lot for the electrician either, but he can't do that himself and sheetrock he can. Today they are also jacking up the trusses above the kitchen. It would seem that the north wall of the kitchen sagged and to make the ceiling and floors match, Doug is adjusting all the trusses. It's never a dull moment with this job. The new roof looks great and the whole front side is nearly shingled. Hopefully, that will get finished soon.

We were supposed to go to the Homeschool day at the Zoo today, but it is too cold and snowy/rainy so we didn't do it. My girls are a bit mad and disappointed, but I promised we would go next year as well as just going any other day soon. I am sewing some more Shakespeare costumes today instead. These are some chemises for the girls to use, much easier sewing than what I did last year. Got to finish up those volunteer hours, you know.

Hope all is well in each of your lives. I'm sorry we don't be down for Easter, but with the house on a deadline, it just doesn't fit in our schedule. Have a great one!

See ya!
