Our Big Helpers!

Saturday, Matt went to Menard's and bought 60 more 2x4's for the basement walls. He is really moving on the basement lately and maybe there is hope that the office will be done by the time the baby is here?

Anyway, Matt has brought wood home before and he always enlists the girls to help him carry it downstairs (I am not helping!), so the girls got right to work on Saturday.

The girls probably carried about 10 2x4's down and Matt carried the other 50, he carried about 5 at a time though.

We thought this was a great lesson in teamwork, they worked together pretty well, but we also heard a lot of "Megan, slow down! I can't go so fast!!" from Courtney on about every trip down the stairs.

I also heard Megan say this to Courtney about the 8th trip down, I think she was complaing and was getting tired. "Just because you are tired doesn't mean you give up!" What words of wisdom from a 6 year old!
