Dinner

This afternoon Mac was helping me start supper. When I told him we were making a marinade he said I like that...I've had it before.

New plan

So I know we haven't been fantastic about doing posts, especially lately, so I have a new plan.  While we will still do regular posts when able I'm thinking of also doing some that are just short comments probably without pictures.  Somewhat akin to a twitter feed, but I don't tweet and I know most of our "readers" don't either.  Hopefully this will encourage us to post more frequently and also do a better job of documenting some of the hilarious things that our children do and say.  (Hopefully you will also think they are funny even though I'm sure something will be lost when taken out of context)

Here are some examples of what I'm thinking...feel free to voice any comments or suggestions.

True to form, Mac didn't tell us anything about what he learned at church today.  However, 

during lunch he was listing his cousins and included Paul and Barnabas so that might be a clue.

Mac had a sandwich shaped like bear for lunch today.  He usually prefers his 

sandwiches cut dragonal, which is very similar to diagonal.

My goal is that we can share more of everyday life with our family that can't be here every day.  Mac is constantly cracking us up with something, or alternately driving us crazy.  We wouldn't want yall to miss any of that.

Daddy's big helper

If you've ever been to our house and out on our deck, I'm sorry.
I knew it wasn't in the best condition, but I had no idea how bad it was.

Back in April I bought some Trex decking that was on a huge sale at work.
I just got around to removing the old deck. There's still a little more to do before I can install the new stuff, but we're making progress (finally).

This was one of the times I'm glad I have a truck and glad Mac has one.
I cut pieces small enough to fit his truck and it cut down on how much I had to carry around to my truck.
It also went faster because we took the "governor" off the truck and it is a lot faster now.

All loaded up.

 

The kid has an arm.

Staying hydrated...with Daddy's water.

All done

 Mac even rode with me to the landfill and helped unload all of the lumber. 

As requested

Maggie is smiling!!! And Mac wanted his picture taken too
