Brrrrrrr

It was cold this week! Seems like the third week of January is always downright bitter.  In fact, it was too cold to get done what they wanted at the house - most notably installing the windows. It was even too cold for Kappy's ski club!

They got the peak up on the upper level gable. It was about -10 degrees this day. The construction guys are mostly out there in the elements all day. Thankfully the basement is constantly heated and pretty pleasant so there is somewhere to warm up.

Then the porch, which I LOVE.

   

Boxes of windows! 

Stairs!

  

They got exactly 2 windows in. Apparently the plastic seal around the window cracks when it's nailed in and it's this cold. That's the biggest concern.

The kids got to finally walk into their rooms! First is Marlo's room.

Then 

Kappy's!

 

They also got the fireplace framed in downstairs! I think they're looking for things to do in the warm basement.

 

In other news, I got a (not awesome) video of Marlo doing the backstroke in swimming lessons. Swimming is really starting to click with her!

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Stay warm!
