So Ken worked every weekend to get the house painted, however, our house is a very tall house located on the top of a very windy hill. So to be 3 stories up a ladder, trying to paint with the wind blowing isn't very fun. And since our friend and neighbor had fallen from the scaffolding while painting this house, the idea of my husband up on scaffolding didn't leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling.
So Ken decided that he would work on the house to the height in which his smaller ladder could reach, and after that, he would rent a scissor lift.

The kids were SO eager to help us paint. We feel strongly about letting the kids help, even at a young age, so they have hands on experience. There is ALWAYS some job for someone who is willing!

Having the kids work with us makes for good memories all around. It's a great way to work on work ethic, diligence, attitude and skills that they'll need in the real world and all time spent together is always a blessing, no matter what we are doing!
