Day #4: Small update

It's getting late, so I'm just going to do a really brief update with no pictures today. I added some new ones to facebook if you want to check that out!
Today was quite similar to yesterday - we had a lovely pancake breakfast and were on the road by 8 am. FYI, the sun gets up here at 6 am and goes down at 6 pm. I quite like it.
I again spent the day with children, so I'm going to have to get someone else to really update you on the house building part. The kids and I had airplane rides, piggy backs and shoulder rides until I was exhausted! I was worried about not training for my marathon this week - I sure shouldn't have, because I'm definitely getting my exercise! The kids wanted the "ballon" I had promised them, so I went into town to get some supplies to entertain the kids with when the ladies went in to buy 5 single mattresses. We're going to build them some bunk beds so they have more room. We're quite excited about making this a lovely live-able home for them.
I stocked up on paints, markers, crayons, colouring books, stickers, balls, animal cookies, and anything I could think of that would keep kids entertained. We had a great time playing soccer with our new ball until it went kaput after an hour or so from being sliced by barbed wire! There's so much of it everywhere, it's hard to avoid!
As far as the house went, we got the windows installed, the walls insulated, and the rafters for the roof up. Maybe they're called braces, I don't know. As I said, I'll have to get others to update you better on that end of things. We got a few of the sheets of OSB up on the roof too. The new outhouse was delivered today, so we painted that red, dug the hole a bit deeper and got everything ready for a much needed new outhouse! The old one stinks to high heaven, and I'm not exaggerating!
The lady of the house brought us some gigantic strawberries from her job in the fields, which we enjoyed tonight with some ice cream. Again, it's been a great day and good evening, and we're all sore and ready for bed! It's now raining pretty hard, so hopefully it will let up before morning. Good night!
