Work & Play
Some progress on our addition...finally. I got an e-mail from one of the construction guys last night and he said that he had our wood floor and would be over first thing in the morning to get it installed. He showed up...but the other two guys didn't. Not sure why. It took the guy about 5 hours by himself to get it done. I'm sure if the other two had shown up they would have been done in 2 hours and they would have gotten more done on the trim. Anyway, at least it is still moving along (no matter how slowly). I'm thinking now that we will definitely be into the addition by the end of the year. Thank goodness, too, because I hear it is going to be a cold winter and we would like to have it all finished by then! They really don't have much left. Some trim on the floors, they need to finish casing the door between the kitchen and the bonus room and then gutters and metal work on the outside of the house, finish filling in the holes where the posts are and then put the posts for the deck on. So close, yet so far away. I'm sure if they would just show up and do it it would only take another day and half.

I took an early lunch break to ride out to Dutch Barns with Shena. Since she changed her mind on the style of building she liked (she said before she didn't like the "barn" syle), I wanted to go out there with her so that she could look at them too. I didn't want to order something that she wouldn't like. I think we have decided on one that looks like dad's (Standard Barn...see Thursday for links) but smaller. His is a 10x16, we would like to get a 10x12, but it will depend on if they can deliver it or not. We set an appointment for somebody to come out and do a "lot check" to tell us if they could deliver it or not. He is supposed to be out on Monday morning, just before I go to work.

We went to see "Brigadoon" at the church. It is the "Summit Players" annual play. I've never seen Brigadoon before, so I didn't kow what the story was about, which always makes it harder to follow the play because it is hard to hear the dialogue sometimes, and the songs are impossible to hear the words (unless you know them). It was fine, anyway. I didn't think it was as good as some in the past, but it's not like it was a complete waste of time. We got to sit with the Lundrigan's and the Williams'. After the play we visited with Plummer's for a bit. Ed's parents are there so we met them, and Ed and I played pool with his dad. His parents are funny people...a lot like Ed (strange how that works, isn't it?).

Llano Update (Cheeto's Brood)
The boys went nuts at Dutch Barns. The place has about 30 or 40 storage sheds on their lot that you can look at, and the boys were having fun running around, opening the doors and playing inside the sheds. They would jump up and down inside the shed and scream. Good times. Cade was fine when we went inside to talk to the sales guy, but Kelson decided he wanted to run around and try to destroy things. When I picked him up and told him to quit touching stuff, he started screaming. Nice, huh? It's always nice to have your kids embarass you like that in public places. Having people look at you like you can't control your kid...which you can't when they are two years old and going through the "terrible twos" stage. I just look at Cade and know that Kelson will get to that point eventually.

The boys stayed with the Plummer's while we went to the play. I wonder if they will ever get tired of going over there. We are going to try to watch Hank for them tomorrow night so that they can go (their two girls are going to go to the play with them). He usually has a hard time when he is seperated from his parents, so this could get interesting. I think he will be ok, though, because he seems to like Shena ok.
