All the windows are in. The door is on. It will be painted black. The plumbing is now in. That was really fast. It only took a couple of days. Now the electric goes in. Almost all the essentials are in place. We could just move in. Well....when the A/C gets hooked up!
The kids are out of school. They are very excited. The boys are in Civil War Camp this week. They are having fun! They started off as farmers and were recruited to join the army in 1864. John was a doctor recruited by the union army. Ethan was a hotel keeper recruited by the union army. They (all the kids) got in trouble for "gambling" yesterday. John came home with 72 confederate dollars. Ethan came home with 2. They got union army caps and nap sacks. They learned how to load their powder and bullets and shoot. They are already talking about going back next year. Emily and I went grocery shopping at the commissary yesterday. She wanted to use the self checkout. So, Emily "deeted" all of our groceries and I bagged them. AND she did not need ANY help. She was quick. She did it cheerfully, even. It just begs the question......If a 7 year old girl can do it that well, why can't the cashiers at Walmart do it that well????? She's just perfect, that's all!

See, the difference with Emily being a checker is SHE WANTS to do it. No one at Walmart actually WANTS to be there! Motivation is a powerful thing, blah blah blah...
I'm so jealous about the civil war camp. There is no history in this town and therefor nothing really cool to do.
