Building and planting and riding....oh my!!

Despite the rainy weather on Saturday, we were still able to get a lot of things accomplished around the house. Here is what we kept ourselves busy with.

While I went grocery shopping with Calvin, Russ took the other two boys with him to Menards (their favorite store) to get some building supplies. For what, you ask?
Well, about 2 years ago, Russ and Uncle Herman built a tree house in a tree just off our driveway. Until Saturday, there was no way of getting up in the tree house. Austin helped his dad build a big ladder so finally the boys can play in their "new" tree house. Now just to get some siding and a door to finish it off!!

He made it to the top!

We also were able to plant some more of our garden. Austin just LOVES to help his dad outside, so he was tickled when Russ asked him to help him with the garden. He enjoyed pouring the seeds into the planter, and following in daddy's footsteps as they were being planted.





When that was accomplished, we finally took the training wheels off Austin's bike. We have been talking about doing this for a few weeks now, but have been so busy that we never got the chance. Austin did quite well and though he isn't quite to the point where he can take off and ride by himself, he is well on his way!


Our BIG boy ready to ride his two wheeler!


Here he comes!


Take a picture of me, mom!!
