"The Deck"

Well its a hive of activity at our house atm, all i can hear is sawing, drilling and banging! Greg is building us the most beautiful Deck I have seen, I can't wait to see it all finished and oiled! Its been a pretty big thing for Greg cos he's never built anything so elaborate before and he's learnt so much! Its good for him...... & my patience ;)


















Jayden has helped Greg the whole way through....its so cute! I took so photos yesterday, he was being so patient waiting for Greg to finish predrilling all the holes and then all he did was hand him the screws but he was so pround and excited to be helping Daddy!





I think its so important to let our kids help us when we're doing something....even if it feels like their gettting in the way! Just a simple task (such as the other day Jayden was cutting the thread for me when I finished sewing on the machine) makes them feel important and a part of our grown up world.

So here is the deck so far....
