The New Addition

Here are a few pictures of the construction right now at my house. We are adding two baths and two bedrooms with the upstairs completely open. It is coming along. I think we will have over 3,000 square feet when we are done.

It has been busy. I think I say that every time. Corey made the baseball All-Stars. He wanted to play this year so we are letting them. Chance and Corey both are playing on a 5th-6th grade basketball team. We travel to Murfreesboro, TN on Sat. and Sun. Chance is also playing on an 8th grade basketball team. He plays with them tomorrow.
The builders have been busy this week. They laid the blocks, roughed in some plumbing, put down the subfloor, and stubbed up two walls. The trusses are supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Things are progressing. I really hope I am able to get it painted before school starts. Chance is wanting a Kentucky room and Corey a Louisville room. We shall see. I will try to put some pictures on tomorrow night or early next week.
Kendall is talking about the potty so we went to Wal-Mart and bought a Pooh potty chair. She has been going and sitting on the potty at the daycare. Also, she has started to tell me that she peed (spelling, doesn't look right) or pooped sometimes. We are making steps in the right direction.

Busy day today!
Kendall went to the ear doctor today. She has to get her tubes put back in which I figured. She has had 3-4 ear infections in the ear where the tube came out. I don't want her to have to have it done again but it is for the best. Chance went to the orthodontist today also. He got his mouth piece for the bottom teeth to hold his bottom and top teeth apart. This will allow his canine tooth to move into the correct place.
When I got home, we started on digging the footer to our addition. It is finished and they are coming to pour the footer tomorrow. I'm excited to get started.
I then took a quick bath and headed to school for a site base meeting. We rehired a teacher that was cut last year due to funding. Also, we are going to have another position open. Our librarian is leaving which allows the 2nd grade teacher to move into that position. Other teachers are wanting to move grades so we will see what happens (like maybe K to 2nd.) Also, the 1st grade teacher has moved to be in with my 3rd and 4th grade team. I figured she would. I hope you are getting all this S.W. I am saying it without actually saying it. Ha!
Chance plays basketball with the 8th graders tomorrow and Sat. in Glasgow so you know where I will be.

Kendall favorite thing now, Books! She gets one and goes around saying, "Read that." It is cute. She is really trying to put together words. I am taking her to the doctor in a little while. Her ear is draining, eyes mattering, and nose running. I take her to the ear doctor on Thursday. I am sure they will want to put her tube back in.

Chance got braces on Thursday. He looks so much older with them. He only got the top ones put on and then he has to get a piece for the bottom to keep his top teeth and bottom teeth apart so one tooth can move over into place. Then eventually he will get the bottom brackets put on. They were very expensive for a whole set.

We are back from Covington, actually the tournament was in Florence, KY. We had a good time even though we only won 1 game and lost 3 games. They played the number 5 team in the nation. Our team scored 24 points and Chance scored 20 of them. Several coaches from other teams were really interested in him playing with them. Maybe in the future but for now we will just stick with our team. Corey came in the last game we played and scored 4 points. He did really good. I was proud of them both.
Kendall stayed with Chris' mom Sat. morning and then my mom picked her up. She stayed all night with them and they went to church Sun. Mom had been yard saling on Friday and Saturday mornings and bought her several things. She was really excited about the "new" toys.

School is out and I am excited. We are going to have several changes at our school this year. We have had two teachers to move schools so far and a possibility of two more. That may cause major changes. We will have to wait and see. The boys had a ball tournament last weekend in Lebanon, TN in which they won 2nd place. This weekend we are traveling to Covington, KY to play in another tournament and then in two weeks to Cincinnati, OH for another.
The builder came on Tuesday and squared off the dimensions for our addition. I think he will start late next week or early the next week. I am ready. We are building on 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a room upstairs for the boys to hang out. I am ready for it. Finally, Kendall will have her own room and a place for her toys.
I took Chance to the dentist today to get his tooth. He was somewhat worried about the shot, but he did great. He said that it didn't even hurt. He also got his front tooth fixed again where he chipped it off AGAIN.
Kendall is doing good. I had to take her to the doctor on Tuesday. She has another ear infection in the ear where the tube came out. We go on the 19th to see Dr. Ewing and I am sure he will want to put the tube back in. Poooey! She is really trying to talk. It is funny.
My grandmother had her breast removed two weeks ago. She is still somewhat weak from the surgery. I haven't been able to help her out much due to our busy schedule.
