Tennis time.
Monkey time
Badminton this time.
Snowplow project coming along.
Using our new trailer to bring wood home. Made use of the spare tire too.
Good hair day. Trust me. Bad ones are not nearly so neat.
Someone with long hair that IS neat.
More long hair.. notice it starting to get matted at the back of her head. It's a lot of fun to get rid of after neglecting it for a week. And hard to motivate people to brush if they are just home all the time. At least we can brush for church on Sunday!
Not a good idea for a popcorn ceiling...but a nice private fort, otherwise.
Pole barn holes for the pool shed are getting ready!
There is some great clay we found in the holes. Evelyn made a duck.
Oh the freedom of biking off to play in the woods!
Can you get your school done like this? Comfy? Just looking for my pencil Mom! (Again)
Supervised math in the kitchen.
Why use a chair when the desktop will due?
Working hard.
Sidewalk chalk! They didn't know I had a secret stash hiding all summer just waiting to be asked for!
Such artists. They get it from me.
Shed raising day. Or, the poles, at least.
Daniel was a great help with this stage!
I promised the kids I'd buy a plastic liner if they set up the rink before the ground froze. Otherwise I wasn't sure it would be worth buying. Fortunately that was enough motivation. I really enjoyed watching them do it for me this year!
Yum! Something tasty for snack today!
Nathan got a lit of welding hours in in his free time. If he wasn't busy doing his school work or practicing on the organ, he'd probably be in the garage.
Chemistry this year for Nathan and Melanie. They had mixed feelings about doing less textbook and more hands on. It's time consuming after all! And the supplies were sometimes inadequate. Oops, my fault there.
Jennifer decided to make suspenders out of rope. Sometimes she just hung them down casually. She wore them steady for a week!
Don't see Nathan often during a school day anymore. Usually he is coming down for supplies.
Why have you tied ribbon all over your room? And who will wind it up again so that it isn't wasted? Melanie was not impressed with this careless use of sewing supplies!
The shed is taking shape!
So is the rink.
Roof is up!
I had a nice view of the kids working on the rink from here. I guess I will have to order that liner after all. As I did the shingles. Man my knees were sooo sore the next day. Red and swollen! Ouch!
