I can't believe it has been two weeks since I've posted. We've been so busy I have not had any spare time. I had a trip to Milwaukee and a separate trip to Madison within the same week. A few more trips coming up (one night in Chicago this week and two nights in Fargo the week of Nov. 10) Hopefully I can stick close to home after that.
We also celebrated Wynne's b-day with not one but two parties. One for "family" and one for "friends". Considering that most of Wynne's "friends" are family this was a bit silly. But we did have fun and she got lots of great presents so she is pretty psyched. She is covered in bruises thanks to her new bike so hopefully her doc won't call CPS after her 4-year-old check up tomorrow.
Oh - and the house-- that is going well too. Pete was able to work non-stop last weekend since I took Wynne and Emmett with me to Milwaukee and other than coming home for meals and helping to prep for and attend Wynne's party, he was also at the house this weekend. We're finally "legal" now that the bank paid the vacant building fee and we were able to get a permit. Chad the Plumber will come out tomorrow to get that going and we will be having the electricians out after that.
Pete got some painting done on the outside of the house-- it looks a million times better. Some of the shakes were not the right size and also not painted so they looked awful. Pete got some that are the correct sizes and painted them. Unfortunately the paint we bought ($42!!!!) did not match exactly but it still looks great. He spent yesterday doing lots of things that he won't be able to do once the ground freezes --
