The Calendar Keeps Going!

Hola!
I have been a little dry for "exciting topics" for the blog! So I decided to just give an update on the regular day-to-day. Nothing earth-shattering, just days of normalcy.

We have been making baby steps of progress on getting drainage work done in the basement. The garage and the laundry room were the worst, so we've had a group chopping up concrete and digging trenches, laying pipe and filling it all back in with gravel. Then covering it up with cement again. Here is the laundry room before...

















Here is the laundry room right now...


















...and the garage floor now...















Frank put down some new mulch in the front yard last week. Now he wonders why there are so many tiny plants coming up through it? Maybe he didn't read the label, and instead of "mulch" it was "weed fertilizer?"














Teresa (7th grade) has had a few track meets. She runs the 800 meter dash (2 times around the track), and is learning the high jump. Here is an action photo of the high jump this past week.










And, David (9th grade) is making dinner for us tonight. Ham and cheese and scrambled egg in a pita, plus pasta salad and a vegetable. Here he is, studiously examining the boiling water with the pasta.


Our long weekend will involve a little more jack-hammering of cement, sealing walls in the basement, framing walls in the laundry room, choking down more dust and shouting over lots of noise to go along with it!

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend, Love, Kari
