Our projects

We have been very busy around our house lately. Here are some of the things we have been working on..........
we had a beautiful day out a couple of weeks ago, so the kids and I deep cleaned our mini van ( I am still not a proud mini van owner, but it works great for our situation right now, some day we will have a cute sporty vehicle, but I must say.........this is very convenient. The sliding doors are a brilliant invention). We scrubbed the floor mats and everything! Kylie and Carson had a blast with the water, but Lexi did not appreciate getting soaked with it :( I got Carson back for her, so it was o.k! The kids birthday present! My dad has been a great help with it. It is cute, because he was pretty excited about it.
Lexi is always close by, observing all of our work
it is not finished yet, and we have less than a week to get it done before their birthday. This will be another busy week!
Kyle also built these awesome planter boxes for our garden area. The kids helped to fill them up with dirt. And so did our little neighbor friend. Ellie has pretty much adopted us as her home away from home! She picked up a shovel and went straight to work. We treated her out to ice cream as a little payment. She is very cheap labor ;)


We still have more to build, so we will be busy around here for weeks to come. It is fun though, and we are enjoying all the family time that these projects are bringing us.
