UPDATES!!!!!

We are unpacked, but still decorating and setting things up the way we want them.

What happens to freshly washed hair that one doesn't sleep on?

CURLS!

Pretty girl!

 Chatham spent the weekend with us.  This is the project that they worked on.  We won't mention the gaping hole in the wall...

A toast for a project well done!

We have yet to unpack the pictures that go on the walls, or stand up on a table.  We also have our bedroom carpet to clean (but I just got my carpet cleaner back from friends).

While Chatham was here, the guys did homework (nerds), made the guitar holder, played basketball in the gym, took a walk around the city, hooked up amps to listen to LOTR while playing "Lord of the Rings Risk."  

The amp cord hooked up to the desktop running to the toy room.

Homework?

First partner...

Second partner in crime.

On Monday, Labor Day, we invited Chatham, three Postmas and four Newells.  JP was sick, so only two Postmas came.  We were going to grill burgers and hotdogs on the school grill, but it went missing.  It went to the football game on Friday, but never returned.  So, we fried them instead.  Elyse helped with setting up the island with our food, dishes and utensils. 

Cute, huh?

Our plates...guess who forgot to buy paper plates?

Elyse was knitting a rug to go in her room.  She finished it yesterday.

The finished project - but it needs to be blocked.

Some of our guests:  Alex sitting at the table, Mr. Postma walking toward the kitchen, Sarah sitting at the table, Mrs. Newell on the couch talking to someone I can't see.

Everyone took a tour of the apartment and the school.  Some took a walk in the neighborhood.  We had lots of food, fun games, basketball and frisbee in the gym, and fellowship.  We had a GREAT Labor Day celebration.  I hope you did too!
