My boys in uniform...

Matt was recently made the new Cubmaster. I just love my boys in uniform!

Sunday Naps

Sunday schedules are always a bit tricky. Normal schedules are replaced with church schedules and it frequently throws off Levi's nap schedule. Last Sunday he absolutely refused to calm down and take a nap so we let him stay up, thinking that he would have an early bedtime instead. About 4 pm he got ridiculously mad and started screaming. (I think we were out of fruit roll-ups!) Anyway, Matt made the comment to him that "this is what happens when you don't take a nap." 

After several minutes of uncontrollable rage-like yelling, we heard him stomp his way up the stairs and a moment later we heard the door to his room slam shut. 

By the time we got up there to check on him, this is how we found him:

FAST ASLEEP in his bed. 

What kid puts himself to bed when he's mad? Matt and I were certainly surprised but let him "sleep it off" for a while before waking the little guy up. 

(I sure love my kids and all the crazy things they do!)

Deck Progress continued....

 We hit a stall last week. We ran out of decking material and have to wait for more to be delivered to finish the last couple of rows. It's looking great so far, though!

 Who knew building a deck was a spectator sport? 

Kellie can often be seen sitting on the sidelines watching Matt as he builds.

 Levi, on the other hand, thinks he's the foreman of this project and likes to get in the middle of things, frequently questioning Matt and giving advice.

" -Inators"

You know your kid has seen enough Phineas and Ferb when they start building "inators" all the time. (or as Levi likes to call them, " 'nators")

Progress...

Framing Complete

Matt finally finished the framing! We had our inspection today (we passed!) so now we can move on to the actual decking material and railings themselves.

Creative Kellie...

The kids have been arguing all morning and so in a desperate attempt at some peace I sent them each to their own rooms for some quiet time. About a half an hour later I peeked in to check on them (it was a little too quiet) and this is how I found Kellie. She was happily entertaining herself with her princesses. I love having a girl!
