Since McKayla is in year round school, her last day was friday. It was a good excuse to have a girls party sleep-over. Tucker (11 and 10/12ths) was relieved to have an evening and day to be an only child and Tyler was going to sleep at Carters- But when it came time for leaving, the boys said "We want to stay too!" So we had a grandchild's sleep-over with all but The oldest and the youngest. Uncle Kurt set up the tent for the girls and I slept out in the back yard too.
On Saturday, we went to a children's free project at Lowe's. The kids all made Pirate ships. Hammered the nails mostly by them selves.
Next we had to paint the boats. Pirate ships are many different colors. If you don't like the first paint, add some more ... and some more... and some more.
Next check to see if the boat floats.
They float better in the ditch. How-ever you have to watch to be sure the pipe monster doesn't suck your boat in to its out of reach depths.
And Thanks to Opa - the boats were rescued for many a leisurely sail in the ditch.
