We are so excited to be going home to visit Grandma and Grandpa Newson next week and have been counting down the days. In anticipation, the kids have spent the last few days "packing" and planning what they are going to take with them on the airplane, and who's going to sit where. I can't tell you how many times I've heard Jack say, "come on guys, lets pack." Max and Jack are also back to playing "best buddies". Here they have constructed their own tables and are eating breakfast together.
Mer has been working on her
Faith in God requirements lately. This week she passed off one where she was required to entertain young children with games and activities. She planned a little meeting where she invited a couple of Jack's friends to the house and "entertained" them. Her agenda included songs, matching games, puzzles, coloring, and a snack. She did a great job and had them mesmerized for about 45 minutes. She currently wants to be an art teacher when she grows up and this week she demonstrated that she just might be a great one.
We are still under construction here, working on our bathroom. We've got the tile done and it's painted. Doug worked on the baseboards, with a little help from Luke, on Saturday and is close to having them done. To keep Luke occupied Doug gave him his own baseboards to work on with his little saw. We may have a budding builder here.
I've stripped the cabinet fronts and they are awaiting the stain. Too bad I'm leaving town and it will all be put on hold for a couple of weeks. Maybe I'll get lucky and Doug will finish everything while I'm gone. Here's a picture of what it looks like now, minus the baseboards.
