We tried snowboarding thing out while we were in MI. It was pretty fun. I can't believe how sore i can be the next day and the kids did the same thing and they said they weren't sore at all.

SLAVES ARE AWESOME!!

We had 3 great slaves at our house for 2 hours today. Matt and I have been taking trees that he pushed over awhile ago, cutting them in about 4 ft pieces, bringing them down to our house, then Matt cuts them again in short pieces that I can split w/ the log splitter. we accumulated a big pile of cut wood and that's where our slaves come into the picture. THEY STACKED THE WOOD. they were fast, hard workers. I guess they weren't true slaves b/c we did pay for them. The money went for their new Teen Room.

CABINETS AND ELECTRICAL
This week was exciting. We had the guy who's helping us with the electrical come and layout where everything is going to be and how much of the wiring Matt needs to get. Then we had the guy who's doing our cabinets come and we figured out what we're doing for that and got to layout our kitchen. he's just drawing it up and giving us an estimate. it will be awhile before we're to the point of putting that stuff in.
