There was no school today and I didn't want to keep the kids inside all day so I called a friend for Alex (Mason) and for Natalee (Avery) and we headed to Gma and Gpa's. While I was there watching the kids play outside I realized why I like going there-for many reasons- but one is I can let the kids run outside and I don't have to be out there with them because I can see them from the windows. Our house only lets you see the back but you can't see the front which is by the road so it makes me nervous, especially with Nicholas because we don't have a fence. Which brings me to another reason I wanted to go over there. Dad and Christian started working on the new fence. It has been much needed, for many years and then this fall the wind storm knocked the fence down (which was hanging on by a sliver). So Dad got a table saw and started working on a new hobby. The front fence is done but the back is now being done and may I say it looks fan-tabulous! It's so nice to see my home-that I grew up in-getting the much needed uplift-so many years of kids took on it. So here are some highlights of the day!
Look at that! You can see the old fence and how bad a new fence was needed. This is so nice!
Look how far they got today. Tomorrow they will start on the side fences! Yippee!
Mason and Alex! They had such a great day. We went to the park, played catch, tag with the girls and now they are getting ready for dinner and sitting by the fire to roast marshmallows.
Mason, Alex, Avery and Natalee. They all played so well today together-I would actually do it again. They just bundled up in heavy coats, hats and gloves and played together all day. Only coming in for hot chocolate, a movie and too warm up a bit.
The moon was full and the view was pretty so I had to take a picture. Look at Dad and Christian putting in a full days work. That doesn't happen much lately!
Nicholas had such a long day, he couldn't keep his eyes open to wait for dinner. I had to capture it on camera but I also have it on video. So funny!
