Girls at work

I hope to capture a picture today of my girls and the little girl down the street, hard at work. Tom is back at it, building shelves for our garage. He no longer needed a pallet that he used on the floor to elevate whatever, in case the garage flooded. I think we will always be afraid of water in the house, after our flood on Austerlitz Dr.. He asked the neighbors if they wanted it and nobody did. He put it out next to the road for garbage pick up. My creative Laura saw it and asked Tom if she could have it. The next thing we knew, we had full fledged girl power hard at work in our back yard. They are using the pallet and scrap wood to make a "fort". Yesterday, they had Tom's wood, hand saw, nails, goggles, hammers, power drill and whatever else they could think of. They are having a blast and you can just see the creative juices flying. I was thinking that that is what summer is about. It is about getting outside and creating, whether it be in the garden or building a fort.

We are all hard at work, preparing for our crazy weekend. Friday and Saturday is the neighborhood garage sale and the Pueblo BBQ Cook Off. We shoudl have a lot of fun, but we will be really busy.

Later.
