Building a play house.....Much harder when your tools dont work!

We decided to build our kids a play house in the back yard for the summer time. We have the girls coming and by then Kaiden will be walking so thought it would be a great idea to give them a play area so they can play outside this summer. Well we have so far ran into a few small snags but we have had a blast working on our project. Sean had two days off during the week so we got started on it not thinking it would take too long to build but slowly coming to the realization that it will take longer then expected. Anyhow some of our tools were not working right and so he started cutting all the wood by hand saw which was pretty funny, not for him but I had a few good chuckles watching him in action. We finally get all of our wood cut with the help of mom loaning us a electric saw... Thank you for that because it saved poor Sean's arms. We started to get the flooring put together when Sean got to one tough piece. He was hamming in the nail when it bent. Well the nail had to come out and in the process I heard a crack. He immediately put down the hammer and started to shake his head, I then asked him if he broke the wood and he replied with yep think so. Well I inspected the wood and noticed it was ok so I picked up the hammer and started to remove the nail when we then noticed the head of the hammer was broken. I immediately started to laugh uncontrollably when he picked it up to inspect it and this is what we got on camera. LOL. It was the funniest thing and we had a great laugh, and thanks again to mom we were able to get a working hammer.


  • Lumber for playhouse... $150
  • Hardware..... $35
  • Buying Nails stronger the your Hammer... priceless






What in the world just happened.. LOL!

BATH TIME!

I haven't got on here in a while so I thought I would take the time to do that. I have been really busy with sick kids the last few weeks so our house has been pretty crazy, but we are all better now finally and they are all back in school... Sean went and bought me a new camera that I have been bugging for, for some time now and the other day I was giving Kaiden a bath and thought I would take some pictures for his baby book. Just as I got the camera out he made the cutest face ever and I was happy to capture the moment. He is such a ham and he just surprises us with little faces and noises that he discovers everyday it is great!
