Labor Day!! Nothing like having a long weekend and having Jim home one extra day! We went to the Santa Calagon Days in Independece today, and got to walk around and look at lots of craft booths and Shane got to play some carvinal games. We were there for 3 hours and it made for a fun morning/early afternoon.. the weather was hot and muggy, but we still managed to have a great time just walking around and there was a lot of free water being passed out.
While Kayla took her nap today, Jim and Shane worked on the bird house that Shane got on Saturday. He got to use his own tools and pretty much got to screw and nail in all the parts and pieces with Jim just holding the them down for him. Shane had just started painting it, when Ryan called and asked him to come over to play for a bit. Of course Shane went to play, so Jim told him he would paint the harder parts of the bird house for him. Jamie asked if we wanted to join them for dinner at Texas Roadhouse, and so we joined the McNeel's on another yummy dinner! When we got back, Shane finished the rest of the paiting, and it turned out great! Shane is SO proud! I love seeing him so excited about something he got to work on!!

Here are the pictures I took of the process and the final product!!
