Today was a day for sheetrock. We lived and breathed sheetrock. It got in our eyes and ears, but we loved every minute. The Tiki House is so close to finishing the roof!! And it has been said that it is an amazing looking roof. All the shingles are nicely tucked in their spots, waiting for their nighttime stories.
Note: fruit loops were available for breakfast this morning and they were most definitely a hit.
The kids did so great today. At the Big Kahuna, they were split off into their teams to work. Each group was assigned a room to sheetrock, and there was a lot accomplished! Karen decided to delight every one with encouraging (and loud) songs while we worked today ; shortly after she took a quick nap in the bathtub while it was being sheetrocked. It was impressive. At the Tiki House, they worked hard on the roof, and continued to sheetrock the house. The roofers said that their fingers are pretty raw. Like raw meat. Ew, bad mental picture.
After a laborious day at work, we ate enchiladas and headed for the bowling alley! Gutter balls and seventy-eights are what most of us got, but it was a great adventure. Singing, dancing , and bowling in the name of the Lord can do wondrous things. At the bowling alley, Kevin decided he wanted a Java Monster until the lady informed him he must be 18 to purchase one. For what reason you might ask? No one really knows. I mean, it’s not like it boosts your energy an immense amount or anything. So. Genius and generous Carley decides that she will buy one for Kevin. Long story short, she got carded because for some reason she doesn’t look 18 even though she is, and Kevin received his medicinal liquid drink, and became quite hyper. But that’s not much of a change.
The night ended with beautiful worship, great words from Jenni, and love letters from home.
So as I type this…
The kids are all nestled and tucked in their beds, as visions of sheetrock and nails dance in their heads. (until 6 a.m.)
Goodnight!
