Christopher got out our Harbor Freight trencher again and we were able to get a lot of mulch moved and Christopher leveled out some more of the french drain. I also finally finished one tiny section of wallpaper removal in the master bath. Hallelujah! Thank you for joining us for this very hot but beautiful Saturday.
We got a lot done this week. Christopher got a new hybrid motor for his Honda Civic that he bought off Craigslist. Lauren made Irish Soda Bread, tried to pull carpet of the stairs (and failed), and strung the lines onto her clothesline. I hope you enjoy!

I just wanted to update you on the progress we are making with the master bathroom. Everything is coming together so nicely!

I wanted to give you all an update on how things are going so far. Christopher and my dad ripped out all the rotten floors in the two front rooms. I went to the city and got the water turned on. I have a new phone so hopefully the video and audio quality are a little better.

Christopher talks a bit about his current project: the windmill tower.
I decided it was time to put my tomato cages up. We also got an exciting package for Jacob's 3rd birthday that is coming up.

I had a very productive day cleaning and then we went to the Grapevine Parade of Lights which Jacob thought was just the coolest thing ever.

This is my take on a winter capsule wardrobe. I only have a total of 29 items in my wardrobe right now but I would like to expand it a bit more so I can have a few more options. Enjoy!

Do you know the breeds of the chickens we got? Or do you have a good name for one of our chickens? Please let us know down in the comments.

I moved some mulch around on Thursday and on Friday we got chickens! We have 4 2 week old chicks and we aren't sure what breeds we have. Next on our agenda is fencing in the rest of the backyard and building a chicken coup. And we better do it fast because these chicks are older than what we thought we would be getting.

Jacob has a sandbox on the back porch he loves to play in with his cars. A week or two ago he requested water to wash his cars with. Today I figured it would be fun to make him a carwash to play with. I want to add a switch to turn the pump on for himself, or better would be to use a pump that isn't electric. We had fun today.

The chicks are out growing their first home and it is time for them to move to a larger space. Christopher built them a new PVC coop for them to move into. Its not actually completed yet but it is completed enough that we could move them on over. Christopher will be adding a floor and a solid roof soon but this is good enough for now. When we have the coop completed all the way we will put together a video of how we built it so that you guys can have some plans if you would like to build one that is similar.
