Almost finished!

 

I hope Russell likes the color brown. Ryan decided he wanted to paint the concrete but instead of buying new paint we had leftover concrete paint which just happened to be the same color as the walls. Ah well! 

 Ryan is very proud of his shelves. They are extremely strong.

 The last thing that needs to be done is the trim around the bottom and the door.

 Russell seems excited about moving in and I'm excited about moving Luke into Russell's old room.

"Look Luke! Santa Claus! "

"Where?!?"

Room #4 update

The walls have been insulated and are now in the process of being textured. Ryan also added a wall to separate the space for the closet. After the walls are all textured and dry we will paint the room a "sand" color and hang the shelves in the closet. For the time being we are going to just use cement paint on the floor and use a large decorative rug. Eventually we will add flooring.

Window that needs repaired and an ac unit.

Bedroom #4 - Sheetrock

Luke helps his daddy keep track of screws.

The walls are up and it is beginning to look like a room.

Tada! Still a lot of work left but progressing quickly.

Bedroom #4 progress

This is the far back corner of the room. Ryan just installed the door and all the electical has been run including the light switch.

I was standing in the laundry room looking out when I took this picture.

I was standing in the garage portion for this picture. You can see the laundry room off to the left, the backyard is straight ahead, and bedroom #4 is on the right.

Ryan installed thick plywood on the garage side so that adding shelves (or finding a stud) would be painless.

Interior of the room.

This is looking from the backyard into the garage. Laundry room is on the right and bedroom is on the left. As you can see Russell's turtle tank is straight ahead.

"I am Luke and I approve this message."

All Saints Day

Luke is ready for All Saints Day.

He will be the cutest little monk around.

His white robes without the cloak.

"Giddyup!"

"Spare any bread for me?"

Adding a bedroom in the garage

Ryan’s new task is to make half of the garage into an extra bedroom. His project is coming along nicely.

Cleaned out the garage and prepared the layout of the room.

Kimberly checks her dad’s work.

Ryan frames the wall and adds electricity.

Ryan’s brother, Russell, and Luke help him out.

Sick little boy

Luke and Kimberly watching cartoons.

Poor Luke has been sick with strep throat.

He didn't feel like doing much.

Except maybe taking a nap.

So sleepy.....

Zzzzzzz....

"I don't ever want to be sick again!"

"I don't feel like holding hands, Kim."

Kimberly feels perfectly fine!

Since she is healthy she runs around and plays Wii.

Her bragging makes Luke upset.

Zoo day

Arriving at the Zoo

Daddy's little girl

Kimberly wants daddy to hurry up!

The big bear was right up at the fence.

Kimberly loves to feed the goats.

The tortoise was sitting in the shade.

Luke watches the giraffes.

Then he decides to push his big sister around.

Kim's turn to push!

The fun isn't over yet...

Time to ride the train!

Kim sits at the edge of her seat while Daddy and Luke wave "Bye"

She shows me her ticket.

It's started!

The day before Luke and Kim played in their playhouse. Luke wonders who put a brownie in a teabot.

Luke is sick and tired of the floor being dirty so he vacuums it himself.
