Wednesday September 11

So we took on a big project today.

It didn't start out too big....we were just gonna replace the stairs.

But......I wanted to pull the paneling down so bad!

When we moved in, I tried covering it with plaster, but it still didn't look very good.

So we pulled it down.

Then we decided to take down the low slanted roof.

So we (okay Brent) pulled it down.

Oh, I can't forget what happened when we first started.

I was still on my morning run, and Dad started pulling the carpet up.

Well, he had a very large wrench took he was pulling it up with.

He was talking to Porter, teasing him about telling me that he was the one who pulled the carpet up, and the carpet gave way quicker than he thought it would and it whacked him in the mouth.

Hard.

He texted me a picture while I was running.

He knocked his front tooth loose (but I think it will tighten up on it's own), and shoved his tooth through his lip.....and it cut the front of his mouth.

He was hurting.

It almost knocked him out.

He said that he didn't know where he was.....he kept looking around and wondering why Porter was at the fire station with him.

Brent told me that Porter was so worried.

He just saw Dad with his mouth bleeding and acting weird.

Anyway, he left the room and then came back in and told Dad that he said a prayer for him.

Is that not the sweetest thing :)

Makes me happy....but still sad that Dad got hurt.

He looks better tonight....on the outside.

The inside of his lip is a big black mound of bruise.

Ouch!

But, we continued to work.

We have plans, but you will have to wait to see what they are.

Because once the girls got home from school, it was one thing after another......

So we will resume tomorrow.
