I am really behind on my posting, but I wanted to shared these pictures anyway.

These houses were absolutely incredible. We couldn’t believe some of …

I have let more time go by without posting than I meant to. We have been fairly busy lately. DH had the day off today for Veteran’s Day so we did a very light school day. He (with my assistance ) put 3 new bathroom faucets in this morning. I made this little centerpiece for …
Slow water leak…..$50/month and growing New water line …..$695 Watching children watch the backhoe ………Priceless My 5 year old has a cute way about him. If he’s watching a video about a fire truck, he has to go get his fire truck. If we read a book about a train, then he has to …
