This and that

Okay so I still have not gotten my act together with the pictures this week. So I will just fill you in.
Skinner finally got in a couple of days of work last week which is good. This weekend we did yard work even though it was freezing cold. Saturday night we had a cook in with our friends Theresa and Kyle and their kids Amery and Grant. It was great. Saturday night we picked up Brandi and now in case you haven't heard we are going to have her for the next 14 months while her mother is in training for the Border Patrol. It is going to be a hard year on Brandi but I think it is going to be great for us as a family. I don't think it has really sunk in yet for her.

Sunday Skinner sold his old pickup, did the dishes, made breakfast for the kids and something else before 9:30 in the morning so he figured he had put in a full day. For those of you who don't know Skinner very well he would never be done working at 9 in the morning. Anyway we went for a drive up to Hovland to look at some wood for sale. And then we stopped at Lisle's Kitchen in Hovland for pizza. It was a great distraction on a rainy cold day.

Sunday night Skinner and Brandi went down to Duluth to spend the night with Karli and go to Brandi's last day of school Monday. It was a field trip to Hayward, WI. Wilderness Walk is what it is called. Sort of a local zoo/petting zoo. Can you imagine Skinner on a bus with a bunch of 2nd graders. Too funny.
