Good morning all (almost afternoon actually). I hope all your weekends were outstanding. We had both a productive, and relaxing weekend! We did a little around the house and yard*, relaxed some ... all in all, pretty much an All-American weekend.
*I'm not sure how we managed to do it, but we have three projects running concurrently right now. We have Emma moved into the guest room and are currently constructing phase 1 (of 3) in her room ... her bed. I think we're about 60% done there. Hopefully we'll wrap that up by the end of next weekend. Project #2 is cleaning out a bunch of underbrush from part of our forest so that the forest is a bit more usable. Dad and I did a bunch of that on Saturday ... to the detriment of Dad's knee and my back! But we gained about 500 square feet of more usable yard in the process. The result is that we've decided to move where we're going to put in the tree fort as it will be more accessible. Which leads us to the final project. Cyndie has read a "How to build a tree fort" book and one of the big points was that you can build one for significantly less by using used or discarded building materials. So she's been on the lookout! She recently found a contractor taking out a deck and now we have a lot of wood in our driveway!
After the long day Saturday, we decided we were very ready for a real Sabbath on Sunday. So we mostly relaxed. The day culminated in leftover sourdoughs with Grandma and Grandpa and dessert at Culvers, which the kids love!
The hard work going on in Emma's room was well worth it when this morning Emma came running down to the basement where I was working out and jumped on me and gave me a big hug because she was so excited about the progress in her room!
