All hands on deck


The kids are painting the deck this morning. We've noticed that the falling acorns and leaves end up staining the light blue color, so we're trying red this time. Initial motivation was high on the part of the kids, but appears to be waning.

Harry was in California for three days this week touring produce processing facilities and working on ideas for new Lean Cuisine products. He's also been collecting some family history information lately.

Teresa took the kids swimming a lot this week, and removed the tile from our kitchen walls in the next phase of our kitchen remodeling. She's preparing questions now for a mother/daughter "newlywed game" activity for a combined Young Women activity next week.

Dan has removed all of his clothes and diaper for the second night in a row now, and we found him this morning out of his bed asleep and naked in front of the TV with pee all over the carpet. It seems like he's fitting into the family just great :) We may need to start going back to the one-piece pajamas for a while.

Weather has been great lately, enjoyed going over to some friends this week with the sister missionaries and had dinner outside with them on their patio.

They did it! Seven hours and three buckets of paint later... looks pretty good.

Wow...those kids sure are hardworkers! The deck looks great! They could come paint ours now that they got the hang of it! lol :) Looking forward to seeing all that Teresa is doing to the kitchen!
