Friday was another gymnastic class, this time for Evan and Garrett. Evan and Garrett had a great time. Randal really wanted to do it as well, but he was too young.

Slow day Thursday

Garrett prepares to make tea in the tea pot. Tea is back in vogue again. We have had a bit of a cold going around, and everyone was moving slow.
Shopping & Kid fun!

Smolder says it’s about time someone got up to feed him! Or let him out. Or whatever he demands.
Birthday time!

Garrett was very excited today, because he got to make his rice krispi cake! Randal, however, was not having any of it!
Fun Friday!

I need to cut some holes in the roof to install roof vents for the bathrooms, which presently vent to the attic. Now that I have all the parts, I’m waiting until I have a free morning that is rain free to get it done.
Meagan took the kids to a home school co-op meet up for D&D club. The location has a play place for the little kids. Jarek and Evan had a great time playing D&D. Jarek ran a table and Meagan ran the other. They are all looking forward to doing it again!
Garrett was being a twit. We’ll all be happy when this phase is over.
Hump day!
19 August 2026 & 20 August 2026
It’s a rare thing to go a day without pictures, but we managed to do so for Wednesday!
We spent the day doing home school and clean up, then we had our Table Top Game/movie night in the evning!

Goat doing goat things.
The phantom photographer strikes again!
A not great picture of some eggs the guinea hens, I think, are laying under one of our bushes!
Additionally, I managed to get the wire run to the breaker box for the bathroom!
With the wire run, I had to get a new breaker to install it. From there, I just need to get the drywall patch installed and finish wiring up the bathroom fan, light, and outlet and I can close out the electrical portion of the permit.

Today was off to Costco for resupply. I had four of the crew with me today. They were all very excited to go get some pizza!
Celebrating Grandma!

Jarek, and the others, have been working on their typing lessons. There are a couple typing games on TuxTyping that they like to play. Here, Evan and Garrett look on as Jarek tries his hand at it.

Randal helps to prepare French Toast for breakfast! both he and Garrett are big into helping cook. The big three also can cook, at varying levels. Evan is always fond of whipping himself up some pancakes for breakfast, too.
A rainy birthday party!

Checking on the crumb of my jalapeno cheddar loaf. I see that the inclusions were all grouped toward one end, which looks to me to be an artifact of my shaping process. So, I will adjust that the next time!.
