Spring break for the Francis kids, but not for the Francis grown-ups, so we got to hang out with the kids all week!
And then there were the projects....
Dean put up sheetrock in the basement.
Dean and Mike laid brick in the fireplace, which looks awesome!
The guys painted the garage so it matches the house.
Mike built really cool flower boxes.
Mike built really cool flower boxes.
Mike made flower boxes.
Checking out how the flower boxes look.
They look awesome!
The back door needed a porch. Dean and Mike, with the help of Nora, made a pretty cool porch, and Mike will finish it with a patio off to the side.
Amanda made wreaths for the front door.
Daddy time.
Nora wanted her picture nailed to the fence, um, ok.
Fixing the breakfast nook. That was quite entertaining!
New hinges and knobs on the "Hobbit door".
Shelves in the gray room.
And shelves in the laundry.
Dex with the kite he made.
Nora
Miles
Miles loves soccer...sometimes. Sometimes he gets frustrated.
Serious, fun and relaxed, all within about 30 seconds!
There was a warm day while we were there, which when there is that much snow, causes a river! Hard to tell from this picture, but there is so much water running down the road!
Mike and Amanda are getting ready to put their house up for sale. It's sad to think this may be the last time for us to visit "the castle house".
