House Update - in Technicolor!

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving! I am blogging from the rental house in frosty, stinky Sioux Center. Inside the house, though, it smells like TURKEY. See Exhibit A (the roaster sitting right next to the front door).



This is the scene. Everyone is conserving energy for the feast that will take place as soon as Amy and Seth get here.


Earlier today we went to check out the house progress. Murray was there, too.


It was really bright out.


Miles and Andrew fought.


The bricks for the exterior have arrived!


The rooms have been painted! Binks did a great job picking out her wall colors, and the boys got to choose some as well.
Ty's basement bedroom is a special shade of orange.


Upstairs, boys mill about the construction debris.


Kitchen pantry in progress.


Basement.


Dad unloading Mom's wine chiller. Swanky.


More fancy orange. Orange is so hot right now.


Mom's camera needs some SERIOUS lens-cleaning attention.


Micah should not be playing with this.


Andrew is a goofball.


Lots of things to trip on.


Nook for a giant flatscreen!


Heavenly view of the new golf course.


Master bedroom.


Front guest bedroom.


Incredible lens dust. And an art nook.


The living room's funky ceiling.


Another pretty blue front room.


Murray is like Andrew.


Red wall and sweet French doors in the den.



That's the update, for now! Del is working on the camera lens as we speak. :)
