Home Projects!!

Well, after Toby gets off work today, he will have a week off!  Yeah!  He is soooo ready!  Unfortunately we have two major projects that we are going to attempt while he is home. 
 
Our first project is a deck for the backyard.  We are hoping my dad can make it over to get us going.    We've never built a deck before.  Next, is tiling our kitchen floors which requires the girls to go stay with my parents after they come and help with the deck.  Normally we wouldn't attempt two major things at the same time, but to have Ellie taken care of means our only chance to get it done without trying to keep her out of the kitchen! 
 
Pray for us and Toby as this will not be much of a vacation!  Then it is off to visit our parents' for the weekend and go and get the girls.  Don't worry.  Toby and I will go have some fun in the evenings when the girls are gone.  It's been a long time since we have gone out to dinner or shopping or movie or anything just the two of us.  Or how 'bout just sleeping in?  That will be nice, though we should get up and work on our projects....Ahhh....or we could actually take a nap during the day whenever we need a break...sleep...you value it so much more when you have kids!   Tho' I have been enjoying napping with Ellie lately.  Maybe I will get some pictures up of our progress on our projects soon!
