The shed is almost as done as it is going to be before winter. We finally got the wire to get electricity out to the shed from the house. It was a fun race against the ground freezing to get the trench dug... we literally got it done the day before the ground froze. We (we here really just means Gabe with minimal help from the rest of us) turned out tons of boulders and even discovered an old horseshoe... good luck, right?!?!?!? While we were moving dirt, the kids were playing santa in his sleigh from the roof of the bulkhead and generator shed... it was safe... enough;) When we made it the 100 feet out to the shed, Gabe realized that he had drilled the hole in the floor in a bit of an inconvenient spot in relation to the floor frame. We both struggled to bend our arms in an impossible direction and failed. Noah to the rescue! His arms and wrists were the perfect size to maneuver the wire around the boards and up through the floor. That is certainly a job we all hope we will never have to do again!
The pigs are growing well and have so much personality. These ones seem like to rub and bite a bit more than the previous pigs, but they LOVE to have a daily massage on their backs and heads. It is really a bizarre thing, but they will lay right down when I am rubbing them... I hope that bodes well for the dreaded part where we have to load them into the trailer in February...
This weekend was the annual Turkey Trot at UMF. This year Grammy joined us to run with Ben and Audrey in the kids 1 mile fun run. Gabe and James ran in the 5K and Noah and I tackled Noah's second 10K hoping it would be easier than his first. Noah and I actually both ended up winning a pumpkin pie for our age categories, but the real truth is that we were the only members of our age categories...;)
