Help from the boys

Nathan and I went to dinner Saturday evening. We had been looking forward to a nice dinner at a local Steak and Seafood restaurant. We have heard wonderful things about McGraws. People have told us to make reservations, but I completely forgot. We figured with Memorial Day weekend everyone would be grilling out. We were wrong. I called ahead of time (we were already dressed up), and they told us the earliest they could get us in would be 8:45, more than 3 hours wait. We were both hungry so we went to a local bar/restaurant, the Black Sparrow. The food was good, we were a little over dressed, but they were not too busy.

The whole time at dinner, we discussed our progress and plans for the kitchen. As soon as we got home, Nathan got to work again (in his nice clothes)

This is what the wall looked like when we got home. I started emptying out cupboards and Nathan tore them out.

We worked until about 10 and then called it a night. Most cupboard are down on the other side of the wall. Just in time.

The boys came home around 11:30 Everest was so excited to help out. We found his safety glasses (I got them from Montessori Services- they have real life stuff in kid sizes), and let him go to work. He tore down the majority of the wall. Leaf helped too, but he was in his birthday suit so no pictures to share.

Everest really getting into demolition. We have to be careful, he keeps going around the house asking if he can tear down the other walls.

Everest worked for a good hour or so. He was tired. He took a 3 hour nap later in the day. Maybe we can get him a job with a moving company and a demolition company.

No more walls. Hurray!! Wait til you see the what we have done today! I will try to post again tomorrow.

We have done a lot of clean up, and more clean up, and more clean up. I am sure we will have a lot more clean up in the next few weeks. We were supposed to do only one wall for now, but ended up removing 2 and a lot more.
