This was no little project either: It was a loooong hot, summer weekend project. However, Tin Man and I both have a strong work ethic, and this is definitely something we want to pass on to our boys.
Nature Boy's task was to stain the bunkhouse:
Dancing Boy's job was to strip & stain the fire pit seating area:
And Happy Boy helped Tin Man strip and stain the deck:
A boy and his fake guns are no laughing matter I have learned.
The boys worked sooo hard! I was so proud of them!
While they worked, I found the coolest metal furniture for the deck at the local antique store for super cheap. It was apparent to me they had potential:
We finished so many things that weekend. I think we all were proud of what we accomplished:
As a thank you for all their hard work, Tin Man took them to get air-soft guns and ammo....so they could shoot each other, and their friends. With protective eye-wear, of course. (If you are a mother of girls, then you think I am kidding. But I assure you, this is no joke.)
(Warning: Gratuitous cowboy and fake gun pic to follow:)
Such is the life of a boy mom.
So anywho, back to their developing work ethic-
I think they worked hard, and I was so proud of the completed projects.
(...who thinks anyone who willingly wants to be shot up by an airsoft gun is just crazy....)
