sat!

 late fri night my friend who is out of the country on an amazing 3 wk KIDLESS vacay!!!!...her hubby (who is home this wk and will join her) called me and asked if he can pick nate up sat morning at 8 to spend the day wroth his family then go to a home school teen event.  he knew from his wife, that i couldnt commit to taking nate that night, called and asked to invite nate for the day, then take him to youth.  i was thrilled!  why? bec i had planned on spending the day with chris at the land working and couldnt take nate that night. BUT now he could go!

so chris and i and our girls went to the land on sat to cut boards for our cabin. after about an hr, and i begged for lunch. i dunno, working in the head doesnt make me hungry but now that the heat is gone, im always asking chris to stop to eat!  after lunch i really got into the job and really enjoyed it

it doenst look like much, but each plank of wood was cut individually and then set aside to size

ellie said to me in the afternoon "MOM!  you ca drive the back hoe AND work the saws!"
i said "yes i can and so can YOU!"...in a few yrs
i think its good for them to see me with chris working, i can drive the back hoe, and man the saws....although the table saw does cause me to pause each time i use it in respect!

 the girls kept busy ALL day playing

 they were making lunch here...haha

we left around 4:30, to stop at mcdees. NOT bec the girls wanted ice cream but because I wanted fried!  haha

nate came home around 10, happy and tired.  a great day for all of us!
