D Day

Door Day 

New Door Day, that is.

Our door was finally delivered just over a week ago.  And since the car search is finally over, today was the day.  Well, even if the car search hadn't been over, it would have been put on hold.

I'm jumping to the end.

This was before the handle was put in.

I will post another picture when the trim is complete

and the window above is clean.

Isn't it beautiful!

We LOVE it!

Bright and early this morning

Jack didn't waste any time.

goodbye orange door

hello temporary door -

used to keep the flies and mosquitoes out.

The builders did a horrible job.

Jack had to redo most of the door opening.

He did lots of sweeping

on this HOT day.

  

getting closer

time to put the tape down.

I just love the new sidelights!

Great job, Jack!!!

This morning I was watching the news and heard of an organization called Band of Angels. They take old instruments, fix them up and donate them to kids interested in music but are financial unable to purchase one.  Jake's trumpet has been sitting around and I couldn't let this opportunity go by without doing something.  I checked with Jake and he agreed.  We took it in and they greatly appreciated it.  It's good to know it will go to good use.  

While Jack was working Jake and Annie (and a friend) decided to wash their car.

it helped them cool off...

both kids got busy

Annie was a perfectionist.

Jake was thorough, too.

Gotta love it!

The kids got to spend time with friends today, which is always nice.  Their clean car is tucked safely in the garage.  Jake is spending the night at a friends house.  I picked Annie up at 9. Guess what she did tonight?There no way you'll guess it... HOMEWORK!  She and her friend had plenty of fun breaks but they are prepared for a test they have next week.  :-)
