Labor Day weekend has just been that. The amount we have accomplished in three days is staggering. Last night, Reba and I painted and got all of that done because we knew that things would be busy today. We had six people coming to help with the work today (Family) and two who were taking the kids for the day. We were primed and ready to go. It was amazing at how much we got done in one day. We pulled down all the studs in the kitchen, pulled up the kitchen and entry way floor down to the sub-floor, and hung all the remaining doors in the house. Everyone worked like dogs to get things done. To our surprise, Reba's grandma came over with subway sandwiches and cookies so we could take a well needed break. So as it stands, we seem to be ready for the contractor and his crew to come tomorrow and start their job. We are exhausted and sore, but it was all worth it in the end seeing how much we have done on our own.
Marna and Aunt Hannah took the kids to see the movie, "How to eat fried worms". They all had a great time. The kids start school tomorrow which is still very exciting around our house because Jacob is starting first grade and Jonah is starting K. Jacob was very excited tonight to make his lunch and set his clothes out. It will be a whole new experience. It is also Jacobs' birthday tomorrow, so it is a double whammy. Anyway, Thanks to all of you who helped out today, we couldn't have done it without all of your help--Mark, Marna, Hannah, Doug, Sarah, and Josh. Don't worry, we will at least wait another week before we call again.

Awesome pictures! We had a great time and only started to feel the pain when we stopped working - you know how that goes. So cool to see pictures on your blog.
It was a great day with the boys and I cannot believe how much you got done at the house! Awesome job!
