Mark is working really hard on the deck with his Home Depot tools from Auntie Marianne. He loves to hammer the most. They can't be up there without adult supervision as it's not safe yet.
The deck railings have started to go up and the end of the project is in sight - over half done YEAH!! As the railing is finished it will finally be safe for the kids to be out there (as long as the stairway is blocked off until finished).
I think we are all ready for it to be done including Ray, working all day only to come and work on the deck until 8 or 9pm.
Mark has finished an 8 week preschool aged soccer Kick and Run group. Two coaches and 14 kids. They learned soccer stops and bounderies and hitting the ball with their feet and heads. Obviously the no hand rule was the hardest for most of the kids. Mark seemed to like to kick the ball out of bounds rather then keep it in bounds - still working on boundery rules. He hoped to throw it back in each time but didn't realize it was the other teams job. They had a ton of drills, a ton of water breaks, and fun games with the balls before the soccer game time each week. Lots of fun!!
