Busy, Busy, Busy

We had a fun but very busy weekend. Actually it began Thursday. Cameron had a school field trip to the zoo so Ben took the day off and we took the twins and cousin Kaylee to the zoo for the day Thursday. I will attach a few pictures with this post. We had fun, and I can honestly say that EVERYONE did great. Ben and I met Cam's school down at the zoo and followed along with him and some of his classmates. It was a nice chance for us to see how he behaves with his friends and as always he loves to see all the animals at the zoo, especially the fish. Clayton was thrilled with all the "waller" (water) that he was seeing and seemed to like the animals too. Calvin was thrilled with everything and got so excited each time an animal would move he kept wanting to get out of the stroller and get closer. Overall it was just a really nice day and a blast to watch how the little boys reacted to seeing all of the cool things at the zoo. It makes me want to go again, very soon.

That was the first fun part of our busy weekend. Then came the work part. Early Friday morning my cousin Billy came over and began the work on putting in the Egress window for Cameron's new downstairs room! This proved to be a lot of work for Billy and for Ben who came home from work early Friday to help. The two of them worked hard till about 6 p.m. and got that window in. I had no idea the amount of work that would have to be done just to put in a window. Nor did I know the amount of mess it would make. Mind you this window is completely underground! If that makes sense. I have no idea how to explain but again I am attaching some pictures.

Window is in - Now what?

And the window well is set in place also!

So after all of the hard work they still had to get up early on Saturday and were back at it. They finished off putting in the window well and back filled with stone so I will still have to take a picture of what it looks like now. By noon Saturday the window was secure and the well in. Now Ben has to do some finish work to fix the drywall inside the room around the window and then some yard work stuff around the outside of the window and we will be set. Progress but it still seems that brings more work with it!!!

We finished off our Saturday by going to cousin Xavier's 4th Batman Birthday Party. All three of the boys were very good at the party and the little boys even got to swing a stick at the Pinata, unfortunately I did not have my camera handy for this fun moment. They looked like little pros with swinging that stick!!!!

Sunday we took it easy and stayed at home trying to get things cleaned up.

Tomorrow should be an exciting day - at least for me. I have a 30 week ultrasound to see how everything is going and hopefully I will get some more pictures of the new little one. The count down continues. Good night all!!!!!
