With each year I come to love ASP more and more.  The first year is exciting and nerve - racking all at the same time, and finally you have experiences to compare to the crazy funny stories you've heard.  But each year only adds to the joy of the work.  This is my fifth year, and I hope I continue for many more.

Now for the update on the work that we're doing.  My group, self-named the Peanutbutter Cups, is working on Coconut Oil this week.  On Monday we were able to put down the subfloor in what will be the grandson's room, and we also started dry walling the ceiling of the bathroom.  The subflooring went significantly better than the ceiling.  Miraculously most of the sieces of OSZB required only one round of measurement and cutting (a feat not often achieved on ASP.)  The ceiling on the other hand is still not comopletely figured out.

Today's highlight had nothing to do with the work though.  Instead it was meeting the three children on site.  The amount of giggles that came from them was amazing.  We almost finished the laminate in the grandson's room today, and he was absolutely over the moon about having is own room.  He was planning where his bed would go and where his train set would fit in the room.  The scampering feet in the house today only made the work more joyful!
