Finally Done!!

I am so happy to report that the shed is finally done!! We spent nearly the entire weekend working on it. Saturday we worked in the morning until Ryan left for his race, and then we had a friend over for dinner that evening. But Sunday we worked morning til night...ALL DAY. Well, as much as we could with three children. A few nursing breaks for Piper. We also had to stop working to help the kids with various things: help with the potty, snacks (although they raided my pantry at one point while we were working), getting toys down, finding swimsuits, applying sunscreen, making them lunch, and settling disputes between the two of them. And at one point on Saturday the girls completely disappeared! We ran around the neighborhood knocking on doors looking for them, I was completely panicked! We finally found them at a friends house down the street...very scary!! They've never wandered off like that before! So we recovered from that, and then back to work! So you can see, things just take a bit longer with children.

Handy Manny hard at work!

So after many hours, a little bit of bickering, burnt hands from the hot metal panels, several bonks to the head from the low beams, a couple scraps and cuts, some cursing, a few mistakes, and lots and lots of sweating...the shed is DONE!!

Piper did a lot of this while we worked.

And these two had to spend a lot of time in the kennel...sorry doggies.

And these two enjoyed the day terrorizing the house and running amuck outside.
Haley is wearing Morgan's clothes in case you wondering why they were so tight. Yeah, don't ask.

The final result: path and shed.
Ahhhh...feels good to be done with it!
