Another Hard Day of Work

This evening my mom and I went by the house to check out the progress of the framing of the roof. It looks like they are about done with it. Here is a picture from the street:


Here is a picture of the attic and the new walls and roof surrounding it:

After exploring the upstairs, we returned downstairs and Alex and Elena went out to climb on the dirt hills.


While the kids were outside, Mom and I sat inside on the landing and talked. At one point, we decided that the kids were being really quiet. But, we decided that they couldn't get into too much trouble. Then, we heard them call for us. We went to the window and saw Alex and Elena climbing back over the dirt hills with their arms full of corn.


The funny thing is that when they first starting building the house, Alex kept commenting on how we could always have corn. Jeromy and I talked about it and he felt that as long as it was edible that was okay. We would just go around the corner to the market that the farmer runs and pay him for his corn. We thought this would start next summer, but I guess we will be doing it this year.
