We have had the most fun with this term the last few days. The concrete floor that was poured is not even. There are cracks in between the slabs that were poured. We can not lay tile on uneven floor. So several of us have been using sledgehammers and chisels to break up the floor to even it out. Then we often need to add more concrete to make it smooth. Here's a few lines:
'Come check out my crack'
'I'm teaching you how to do lines of crack'
'Is my crack deep enough'
Now on to serious stuff.
3 Things I'm thankful for:
1. Being healthy when so many are having intestinal problems
2. Being two more days until I see my girls!
3. The yummy lasagna that Melissa made for supper.
James stayed at the house today to rest. Melissa and Allie kept an eye on him while they were cooking and doing the laundry. He rested most of the day and drank several bottles of electrolyte solution. Tomorrow he really wants to go back to the work site for the last day. He has enjoyed being helpful to Manuel the Maestro brick layer. He was up this evening so I am hopeful.
I helped with pounding the concrete today. Lexie got to lay several rows of tile with Lori. Maybe she will get good enough to tile at our house!
I forgot to add about playing in the rain last night. As we went to get a street taco last evening, it began to sprinkle. The sprinkle turned to a monsoon! The Center is on a sloping street and when it rains that hard it is like crossing a river. The courtyard was flooded with the wind and rain. Our kids from Kansas have not played in the rain enough. They enjoyed dancing in the rain!
Tomorrow is our last day. It's bittersweet. I'm ready to be home even though we will be heading to kids camp on Monday. But I also hate to leave when the project is not completely finished. I also hate to leave the beautiful weather! I heard it was hot today back home.
