construction on the new porch roof began today. jason, his dad, and sean worked hard even as it got dark. lila helped on and off but was content to hang out with the girls. sadly, one little guy was left out. he knew he should be on the boys team and tried every way he could to get out there. he tried to sneak in the garage and bring jason the tools he left or race through the gate EVERY time it opened.he was so determined! he found his hammer and held tight - hoping that someone would notice and need use of his skills.
hammering the camera lens included!
he then tried another angle...coiling up the extension cord....and giving it to people and saying thank you each time :)
he was really hard to distract!here are some action shotsof the "workers". sean rode around on his old construction vehicle supervising and then was actually allowed to hammer stuff. he was in heaven! the guys were so patient and let him help the whole time. he even took coffee breaks with them.
we even had time for a dinner break. fresh mahi-mahi caught by steve and macaroni salad, cole slaw and corn on the cob from beth...delicious!!!!
sean kept running in and having us feel his muscles. he was so proud of his work. he even whispered to me that he was probably as strong as jason....or maybe a little bit STRONGER. one day, he said, ben might even be as strong as he is.
they showered and fell right asleep with plans to wake up with the sun and get back to work. maybe ben will have more luck tomorrow...
