Door - huge milestone

Every since we started getting walls framed and it starting to take the shape of a house, Kes has been very disturbed by one thing, NO DOOR! When we go to the house to look around, as we are driving up, Kes ask, "Is this our new house?" "Does it have a door?" That child comes up with the strangest things. So, this was our weekend to go pick out a front door, and Kes was thrilled. We are walking into lowes and I had told him what we were going to do, he said "are we getting a door now?" I told him yes we were looking for a red door, when he asked "Can we get a blue one?" I tried to discourage that when he blurted out, "we can't get a blue door, it don't match to my house!" So, problem solved. We didn't get a red door, but we did get a beautiful wooden door that I am thrilled with!!!

It looks like a house!

It actually looks like a house now!!! We are on schedule to have siding and roof on next week, which means the rain should no longer hinder people from working. I am a little weary about this stage though, because everyone says it goes SO slow from here out. I am supposed to be picking out a door this week, which has been almost as difficult as picking out the house plan itself.... I want a RED door, with half glass or maybe 3/4 glass, no special design on the glass, because I intend on have something hanging over it most of the time, it is a lot harder than you would think! Oh not to mention that dreadful list I made of things we need for each room!!!!!! Like shower curtains, toothbrush holders, rugs, lamps, curtains, chairs, tables, the list is endless! Nevertheless I am excited, even if we move into an empty house, it is going to be big and everyone will have their own room, and it is where we want to be for the rest of our lives, and I am happy!

Getting back to blogging

Short run down since Christmas- everyone is good, life is still hectic, but we have a foundation!!! I am getting really excited, like I do every year around this time regarding all the plans I have for our Sunday schools dept. this month is our teachers' banquet to show how much we really do appreciate all their work they put in every single week. Then, once a month from here out, it's all about our kids, valentine party in February, revival in March.... And so much more!! I am going to try and post events long in advance via my blog and see if I can get input and ideas or suggestions regarding our activities. There are hundreds and hundreds of teacher blogs, but I can't find any Sunday school teacher blogs or Sunday school directors. Maybe because most churches Sunday school is more geared to adults, but ours is just for the kids. Everyone start looking around and noting anything you see super cute for Valentines Day.
