Helping Pa build a new fence.
Then staining the fence too.
The kids have been busy earning money at grammie and pa's house. They've helped build and stain a fence, weed flower beds, and plant a garden. They've earned so much money, I'm considering employment with grammie and pa! hahahaI've been so impressed with Clate's work ethic. Once he gets started, he doesn't stop until the project is done. One day he was out with Pa and grammie for almost 10 hours. Pa had taken down about 2 sections of the fence, and by the end of the day Clate had taken down another 4 or 5 sections...almost by himself. He just kept hammering and hammering and hammering. I thought for sure his little arms were going to fall off, or at least be sore the next day. But come morning, he was ready bright and early to help Pa finish the job. They finished another section the following weekend too...and he was right by Pa's side the whole time. He's a good little worker.
The girls did as much as they could too. In fact, the only incident we had was when Chloe was hammering a board and Clate was on the other side of the fence hammering the same board and the board came down on top of Chloe's head.
