Here's what the children are up to!

 Cherise H. is helping me out this winter in the house. I've been so glad for her help already! Here the children are enjoying a story with her. (Amy S., do you notice the wall? Thanks for the ideas!! :) )

 Jared giving Cherlise a ride in the wheelbarrow.

 Somehow Weston snagged someone's hat! :)

Looks like a nest of little birds don't they? Cherise was sharing out some after supper treat. :)

More on the fence...

 ...and the next morning the fence was cut in 3 places! (more on that in the next post)

 installing a passage gate...

 ... locking it for the first time...

 John Robert R. and Jonas L. working on the fence.

 John and Enos stringing out the wire...

And these little guys are just enjoying the entertainment...

The fence...

Hello from TR! The fence is done! Sorry, I've taken so long to get these pictures posted, but I'll try to get 'em all posted over the next week or so. :) Many thanks to the team from Indiana for their hard work!

 The children loved being able to go out and watch the progress - or even try their own hands at helping.

Thanksgiving Project...

I know this is way late, but I just didn't have time to post these pictures before, and now I'm just making the time... :)

Lor's sister sent down the ingredients to make these turkeys, and the school children just LOVED creating them...

 Weston had fun taste-testing! :)

 We used the turkeys in a treasure on Thanksgiving day, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait for another day to see those pictures!

Still here... :)

No, the internet is not down... the computer didn't quit (even though the keyboard is on the blink due to a water spill), and no, the camera didn't go on the blink either...

It's just... well... B.U.S.Y. around here...

See what we're doing????

 This is our new 31,000 gallon cistern! I wish it was done already - it's dry season now, and we're buying all of our water again...

Jared, Kenneth and Jonathan trailed me out to the building site, and I snapped this picture of them watching...

 It was totally intriguing watching the "boss" throwing the plaster on the walls. Even though he complained about getting a bath in mud, it kind of looked like fun! Sling, scoop, sling... :)

 And yes, this is what my front yard looks like now... The children don't like having to stay inside so much, so they're not in the way of the workers...

 This shot is from the roof of the house (yes, it is flat :)

This addition will give us the cistern, a schoolroom, laundry room, storage room, and another bathroom!

 And these were some pictures that I took a few weeks ago, and never got them posted...
