Tree House Labor

When Pops and the older two arrived home from the lumber yard, the kiddos started to work. Even Cole got in on the action, so of course Momma had to start snapping. Poor Lizzy was at summer school so she missed out on the hard labor :(

Carter helping Cole get his board out of the truck.
Brothers can be such good helpers...sometimes!
Here goes Cole on his own.
Caden had to direct Cole on where to take his board.
Carter and Cole moving a big board.
Cole gave up and Carter was left to lug it on his own!
Cole decided he needed to take a break and finish the popcorn his brothers got him while at the lumber yard!
Caden must have unloaded 40% of the wood by himself. He was a great helper!
So proud of himself :)
After they unloaded all the wood, Pops put them to work pulling the labels off the end of each piece. They did this quite a bit yesterday, so I was impressed when Pops just handed him a tool and he went to town.
Caden was the designated board holder while Pops was using the saw.
Caden has been a great help all week. He gets bored at times and goes to play or comes inside, but Pops said he has actually done quite a bit of work!

Caden looks so OLD to me in these pics! SO grown up!

That's awesome that you dad built them a treehouse and that they were real help!
