Christmas Naps...

Naps are the best.
Christmas naps are even better!

"And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap..."
- 'Twas the night before Christmas

Christmas miracles abound!

The biggest kid is SUCH a Star Wars fan, that he almost bought 3D tickets for a Saturday morning matinee a few days after opening night.

Lo and behold, our realtor group was putting on an appreciation night for all current and past customers to watch it in standard 2D, free of charge!

As we had taken the little ones to a movie before we thought they would be semi behaved. Way past their bedtime, they were not the easiest to tend to.

Another patron offered to buy us tickets so Mom and Dad could have a date night unmolested by offspring, and even went so far as to also offer babysitting during the aforementioned date, anytime!

Now that is a Christmas miracle!

Just don't tell me anymore spoilers past the first hour! I mean it!

Status update - Day 2 Demo day! Brother and father in law were powerhouses. Work began shortly before 6am, and with the help of a few volunteers we got all the old shingles and perlins off, strengthened the frame and put down the osb for the sheeting.

The adventures of roof replacing...

Day 0.5 - bought lights and gloves.
Day 1 - decided against garbage bagging the insulation. Instead spread visqueen on top, stapled to tie-ins.
