There
comes a time in every young boy’s life where he just needs to hang out with his
Daddy. Saturday of this past week was
that day! We are thrilled with Robert’s
new job and the fact that he has the chance to make overtime and a little bit
more money. BUT, the boys have really
been feeling Robert’s absence. We didn’t
go to E-Man’s basketball game since we still had cold symptoms running rampant
along with a baby recovering from pneumonia and a rash. Ethan woke up, looked at his daddy and said
“Daddy, even if you get called
out today, don’t go!”
Well,
this of course melted Daddy’s heart! He
did the only thing that he could do! He
gathered his big boys up and took them to Tractor Supply to begin making the
chicken coop for John Robert’s Youth Fair chickens. The boys spent the entire day with their
daddy. There was no fighting, no
bickering, no complaining; just men working on men’s projects.
No, they didn’t get the chicken coop totally done. They still need to build the laying box and
put the roof on. BUT, they did spend the
whole day together laughing, talking about important “guy” stuff, and just
hanging out! I think that Daddy needed
that day as much as the boys did!
I
for one am thankful for building day! I
am thankful for a husband who will sacrifice his time to spend it with his
children. And don’t worry; he did a
shopping day with just Maggie too! What
a great father he is!
John Robert working on his PHD's!
Daddy did the measuring and cutting!
Putting the floor in. We have a coyote den in the pasture!
Daddy wanted a floor!
Working with Daddy to get the last boards in place.
Time to start putting up the wire!
