Get busy!

I'm proud of how hard i worked today. I awoke at six thirty, worked at my "real job" until i got to leave early around one, then i bought some shingles. When i came home, i made a really sturdy ladder out of 2x4s, (normal boards that you build house walls out of) and kind of rebuilt part of the roof, and then started putting up the shingles. It was raining, sometimes hard. It was kind of awesome. I like doing stuff like that -- roofing in the rain. While i was building the ladder (also in the rain), Katrina was holding an umbrella and handing me nails. She was adorably helpful, and full of compliments: "That looks like a really great ladder, Dad!" And after that, i led a ZUMBA! class. Whew.
So there's some bible verse which talks about how sweet is the rest of the hardworking. Tonight my rest will be sweet. So far Karen and i have rested by watching The Office. Jim was really mad.
Also, Houston made a first-gen Scion xB out of paper! I just can't say enough how much i love watching my kids do this kind of stuff.
