Monday April 27

For the last couple weeks, Port has been working hard to cross days off in a 'good behavior' chart.

It has been very helpful :)

Well, yesterday he filled up his last box, so today was the day.

The prize????

A trip to the Army/Navy store :)

He was one very happy boy!

He got himself a real army guy helmet, a new jacket (that fits him), a new army guy belt, and a grenade.

It was a pretty cool place.

He plans to get himself an army guy backpack when school starts up again :)

This morning, Drew and Heather came and they put our front porch deck steps made.

They turned out really great!

Still a few finishing touches, and handrails.....but having the steps done is super awesome!

Thanks again guy.....you are pretty dang awesome!

*****

I got putty put down on the landing, and after it dried, I started sanding it.

It is only sanded down with an 80 grit....so I still have more sanding to do to get it ready for stain.

I did settle on a color and went and picked up the stain.

One step closer!!!!!

Hopefully I can get it on tomorrow.

Fingers crossed!

For FHE we worked again together as a family around the yard.

I won't lie and tell you there wasn't fighting.....

But the jobs got done, so that's good.

We are all sleep deprived right now, and not on our best behavior!

Elsie bug was not good at school today and spent a lot of time in time-out in the resource room.

I really hope tomorrow is a better day.

The kiddos got in bed at a good time....so hopefully that will help.

I hope we aren't getting sick :(

*****

Dad was up and around most of the day today.

Except when I took Madi to PT.

Which is good, but I am sure he will be hurting tomorrow.

Hope not too bad.....

This is a fake gun that dad made out of a pipe and wood handle a long time ago....and he stuck Cassi's scope on it from her be-be gun.......
