Here is the ball court. We poured concrete last Saturday. It was quite the job, but the kids have a great time riding bikes on it and I know they will have a great time playing basketball, once we get a goal!, and tether ball out there.
We have been working hard around here. We finally started on our carport (here at the left--the lower portion in the vans parking place). Chad decided to also put in a basketball court(upper portion), with enough room for a tether ball pole also. We also have a lean-to in the works--for all of Chad's work stuff that shouldn't get wet, I want it all out of the pump house! So here are some pictures of the progress.
Here Chad is working on getting it as level as possible.
Here is a front view. Left is going to be the court and on the right will be the car port. The kids had a fun time placing their hand prints in the footings for the car port. It was Jesse's first hand prints and he wasn't sure he wanted to do it at first. Now he likes to point it out to us all the time.
Here is Jesse taking a break from 'working'. He thinks he is such a big kid!
A boy and his dog. Jesse loves his Bitsy!
The summer seemed to crawl along until all of the sudden, it is at an end. We went to the school
last night to meet the kid's teachers. It was a fun evening and the kids are, for the most part, excited about starting school Monday. I'm a little apprehensive about having only on child at home......it usually means I have to entertain more than I've had to do all summer!
I, on the other hand, have been dealing with some kind of infection. The Doc was pretty sure it is MRSA, an antibiotic resistant staph infection. The results from the culture are due any day now. Apparently, I've been carrying this not-so-lovely stuff for quite a while. It manifests itself on my skin as absesses (or boils). They are very painful and usually last a long time.
Thankfully, I found that Essential Oils work wonders on shortening the length of time for each sore.

I am SO impressed! I've been catching up on my blog reading and just read through everything you guys have been up to lately. It looks GREAT!!! I'm sure there is incredible satisfaction in seeing something completed by your own hands. Can't wait to see everything in its completed state. I'm up for a little tether ball! :)
