Saturday to Friday....

     Saturday...

The neighbors stopped by to see the progress on the deck and I put them to work, SUCKERS!!

There were a few tree roots in Greg's way on both sides.  He spent nearly all day chopping and digging out one side so when these fellows showed up I challenged them to do the other side, two of them stayed for the duration and it was done in no time.  Got to love this neighborhood and all the great neighbors! 

Saturday night McClane 'killed' Brock.  Brock came up stairs hysterically crying with blood running down his hand and he screams at me, "McClane 'killed' me with a pocket knife!  McClane's a KILLER!!"  Brock is not dramatic AT ALL!!

So Greg got to take Brock to the E.R. where we were sure he needed stitches on his right index finger but after the doctor saw it he decided glue might be a better and less traumatic option.  I couldn't have agreed more.  And thankfully it's healing up nicely.

Sunday.....

Sunday Greg's parents and sister, Kristin stopped by for a visit and Charlie was snatched up and cuddled by Aunt Ninin and Charlie really didn't know what to think but she couldn't stop staring at Kristin.

Monday...

Monday Charlie fell asleep in her carseat and I decided this was the perfect time to paint her fingernails and toenails.  Not too bad for our first attempt.

For Family Night we put the boys to work putting all the bolts, nuts and washers through the boards for the deck.

These two were actually great little helpers.  Greg made the initial hole for the bolt and then helped get the bolt through and then left McClane and Brock to finish it up.

Tuesday...

Tuesday Carter received his wolf badge at pack meeting.  Mark was his honorary parent since neither Greg or I could make it.

Wednesday....

Charlie had to receive a booster flu shot and she did it without a single flinch or sound.  The nurse was like a ninja with the needle and Charlie didn't even have time to think.

At the same Dr. visit Isaac received his permanent cast that will be on for the next four weeks.

He was so happy they had a green cast for him.

Greg found this cute little salamander in a water meter and McClane LOVED it!!  Greg took it away and he was crying hysterical for his "wizard".  Pretty cute.  Unfortunately the little guy didn't last more then a couple of days.  Being handled/loved can be lethal.

Thursday....

    Bad weather, no photo.

Friday....

McClane wanted a hut/fort and he was sure Charlie wanted to sit in there too so here they are enjoying themselves.

Charlie got this cute eye mask today from her Aunt Marie.  She loved it more when it wasn't on her face.  It was fun to receive the little care package from Marie and all the kids enjoyed the candy!!  Thanks Marie ;-)

And this is where we are on the deck project.  What you can't see in the photo is all the lumber that's sitting in the garage just waiting to be used.  That was the biggest project of the week, buying and picking up the rest of the building supplies.  Tomorrow should prove productive if the weather cooperates.
