working on the new room...
...building a new hog blind...
...and bought a mule.They did receive some help from the kids.
...measuring...
...and dragging things to the burn pile.
Birdie rode the ATVs
Ashley tended the fire
While the boys were working, we girls were painting. Leah and I repainted the white in the dining room & playroom, including the ceilings, and added a dose of red to the kitchen. 
We also painted a wall in the new room a nice light shade of champange.
Mom was wonder woman through it all by keeping an eye on all 5 kids.
Don't worry, it wasn't all work. The family was introduced to Rock Band 2 for Wii! There are many many fun stories to tell. Let's just say that Mom scored the only 100%, on a heavy metal song no less & Ashley loves to sing the Smashing Pumpkins.
Plan to join us next year for our week vacation!We work hard, but play hard too!
