Painting the Town?

The storage building that Nathan and Graham built was ready for shingles and paint today. Several chose to sling paint...others decided to stay out of the mess and practice tricks on their swing set and/or make creations in the sandbox! This afternoon Abigail came over to have Goosey (Woody) go check to see if we had any paint in the garage that they could use. We did have some...at least enough to get a start on the project. This morning I had a bit of school with Elijah, Esther, and Joy. We mainly worked on reading. Elijah is sooooooooo close to being able to sound out words. It's so fun to watch a little one when they start to hear the word that they are saying the sounds for! Woody worked more on his mulching/weeding project this morning. Then after lunch he walked eight miles. I rested/dozed and read after lunch. I am still being very careful of my knee, but it is definitely better...really doesn't hurt...just a bit stiff and and a little swollen. Woody had an unwelcome surprise last night...after he got into bed, he realized that he was having kidney stone pain. NO! NO! NO! Not Allowed! He got up and paced for a while and then went downstairs so he could start drinking lots of water. The pain finally let up and he was able to get some sleep. So far today the pain hasn't returned. Questions now remain...Has the stone just stopped moving? OR Has he passed the stone? Hoping that it is the latter! Guess time will tell!
