Let Them Be Little

MORE RENOVATIONS AND FAMILY FUN!

Here is the picture of the old back door....

and yes the kids playing basketball the other day while we were replacing the front door.

Both front and side door are now gone. We were able to sell them yesterday!

Matt getting started by taking off the old door. What a job, it didn't want to come out and to make matters worse it was raining but we had no choice but to replace the door then. Jay had phone the day before at lunch saying that he couldn't go back to school because the side door would latch and stay closed and he didn't want to leave the house unlock and door open. Smart kids isn't he?! Well it couldn't have happened at a better time, we were at Home Depot getting ready to pay for the new door! Matt managed to get the door to latch for the night and then got started on replacing the door Wednesday afternoon. It rained all night....


Down came the rain and it was a bit cold but with a tarp and determination, progress was made

Finally the door is in...


And then the next day we installed the storm door....now the storm door is on and as you can see Breigh is enjoying the sun and open space...but it's not finished yet. We had to buy a ledge extender for the bottom and the door will hopefully be done soon.

(***I will post a picture of the door when it's finished***)

Now that is it for the hard work....

How about some FUN!

Jay and breigh having fun on the trampoline...

as you jump she like to go for your feet and socks!

Trinity and Blake playing in the dirt...making mud pies I believe?!

Then I took some time and got my truck cleaned out and finally washed!

But wait, it was almost time to go to work (Matt working late) and Jay was watching the kids for us, where am I going to find time to give the kids a bath? No problem...with the hose in my hand I came up with a solution!

HOSE DOWN THE KIDS lol!

They loved every minute of it!

Well, maybe not the dog??? She looks a bit worried

Breigh finally got in on the action!

Kohl was soaking wet and kept coming back for more

Jay wasn't missing out on the fun!

Trin kept her distance but Kohl couldn't get close enough...

Then it came to an end. Matt came home for supper and I had to get ready for work.

Time to get the kids dried off.

Through the front door and off came the wet close

(for the 2 little ones that is)

Now as usual when I go to work. Jay puts a movie on for the kids, pops popcorn and has treats ready for 6pm. When the movie is over, Blake and Kohl head off to bed and the rest of the night is his. Trinity will either watch TV or hang out with Jay!

This arrangement works out better than having a sitter here and so far there hasn't been any problems.

I am very proud of Jay for being so responsible with the kids. I couldn't ask for a better (almost) 13 year old. Love ya Jay!

Blake and Kohl enjoying their movie time together...they look tired out!
