Tomorrow we have a bunch of family coming (thank you, Keith!!) to help tear all the siding off the whole house in preparation for the new siding coming next week! So tonight after dinner we had a little prep work to do...the kids jumped right in to help! I am pretty much useless so I took every opportunity I could to capture their busy hands in photos...
Andrew removes the house numbers with dad's cordless drill...
Both kids worked hard to take the corner pieces of siding off that they could reach. Each piece is attached by 2 aluminum nails (which are not magnetic so they have to be careful not to drop them in the grass because we can not go back and do cleanup later with a magnet like you do with regular nails)
Emily LOVES to wear Kelli's bike helmet...she was like our little inspector...checking everything out, including the beautiful blooming spirea bush...
The nail bucket...
She disappeared to the garage and came back with this broom obviously on a mission...she was chatting something the whole way, climbed up on to our retaining wall with it and marched it right over to Brian...
Kelli was loving that Daddy had bought her new work gloves and was excited to put them to the test...
She was having such a hard time with this nail that was just at the wrong angle and a little out of her reach...I found the continuous shoot on my new camera and put all the shots together in this little video....
