Kevin’s BIG project

Kevin’s been dreaming up his ideal shed for our back yard all summer. He wanted to get started on it before he had to go back to school for the fall. We had 2 weekends lined up for him to work on it… one we had torrential downpours so he couldn’t get much done so that left this weekend to get things started and hopefully done before our landscaping crew came to install our backyard… Here is what Kevin has been working on non-stop since Saturday morning (he even took Monday off work to get more done).

Our good friend Jens came over to help all day on Saturday and some Sunday afternoon!! Thanks for all you help Jens!!

He ended up finishing all the siding and some of the trim on Monday. Next weekend he’ll shingle the roof and hopefully we’ll be able to paint it. (Any suggestions on what to paint it? Our house is white with green shutters and a green roof… what do you think about a green roof, light beige siding and white trim???)

Ethan was a big helper too (I’ll have more pictures of him later – had to get out the SLR for some better shots).

Pray for nice weather this coming weekend so we can get it all done.

- Samuel has a new room!! Well, it’s a shared room, but at least he has a corner now!

- I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

- This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

- We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip. Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)
