Do it yourself project turns into quality family time.

Have you ever had one of those projects that you just dread. Well you're looking at one. Our new natural light camera room, which was supposed to be finished 6 weeks ago, is now completed. Our whole family passed up a weekend at the lake to finish this project. Isaac was the official "saw man", cutting and measuring all the pieces that were up against the wall, Ivy was the "strip layer", laying the pieces to be fitted together, I was the "glue girl" and Jim was the "tapper", fitting the pieces together to perfection. It took us two days to finish but the transformation is amazing. The kids both worked so hard and didn't complain once that they gave up lake time for work. We were down to our last section and Ivy says, "Mom, my fingers are red." Gotta love her, mine were too.
