Turkey season

We had another good weekend of progress at the farmhouse.  It's always fun spending 80% of your time shimming and then 20% hanging drywall. The framing is all finished in the attic and the drywall will be hung in one more trip up there.  Thanks to the dads for the extra hands.  Here's the view from the doorway looking North.

On the ride back I managed to do a little turkey hunting.  With about a half second notice a turkey managed to fly across the road 2' off the ground.  This was the result...

Good stuff.

So...we forgot we had a blog.

Alright so this is going to be another photo dump.  Apparently our last post was over 2 months ago, so there's a few pictures to catch everyone up on.  Lately things have been busy.  We had Elsa and Nora's birthday, the Daddy Daughter Dance and of course the construction up north.

Elsa and Nora wanted Minecraft decorations for their birthday so we did our best to decorate in 8-bit graphics.  If you aren't familiar with Minecraft just ask the girls, it's one of the few topics that they will actually talk about with other people.

The next week we had the 1st annual Daddy Daughter Dance at school.  Elsa and Nora had a good time with their friends and Jenna got to run around with her classmates and get tired out.  It was quite the scene.

Then of course we're back to construction season up north.  We're trying to get as much finished now before the Brookfield construction starts.  We got some good framing done last weekend and some of our electrical runs.  The next trip up we should have made some good progress towards getting drywall done.

If you haven't heard the details, we're going to be closing on our new place just about a month from now.  We'll be sure to have lots of pictures of our new house soon.  Also, if you know of someone in need of a powder blue toilet, I've got a line on one.  And tile, powder blue tile.  It's flying off the shelves over here, so put your order in now.  Here's the listing:

Disney, Thanksgiving, a Birthday and ....

Time to drop a load a of photos on you.

Since it's been awhile we've got to go all the way back to our Disney trip.  The surprise trip that wasn't really a surprise was great.  We spent a day at Magic Kingdom, a day at EPCOT and a very short day at the beach.  It turns out that jellyfish larvae like to sting, all over, as soon as they hit you, and it doesn't go away until you are completely dry.  But it was fun, and the girls are already asking if there is another trip in our future.

A few weeks after Disney we took a little time to head up to the real OC for Thanksgiving and a birthday.  Thanksgiving was only missing a few brothers, but otherwise every one of the Wisconsin residents made it for a good time and a good meal.  Then on to the cake and presents.   Jenna turned the big 5.  Big because next year she will be in full kindergarten, no more naps.  That's her big concern right now.  That is most of what's been keeping us busy.  Next up, Christmas programs.
