Construction and no TV

So....The idea that I cannot get anything done without TV has now extended to the tradespeople of the world!

A vastly talented friend of ours is diligently working in our home to put the finishing touches on our flooring/paint/vanity project. Until today, I have taken the kids from the house, even driving through our lovely Manitoba winter days, to allow him the space he needs. Today, there were no such options available. (Aside from maybe driving around the countryside in search of something interesting, which in the prairies would constitute a grass fire, or maybe a pay loader pushing snow.)

So, here we are, underfoot. They idolize him. Oliver will only answer to "Mr. Hiebert". They need to SEE everything, and TALK ABOUT everything, and touch, smell, and lick........EVERYTHING! I get two of them doing something else only to find the little one pulling tools out of the tool box and "helping". This project is going to take twice as long. Oh dear! Nap time cannot come soon enough!

Oli needed a hard hat. 

So did everyone else!

Hard hats for everyone!

Which turned into hard hat races.

So much fun!

I would feel bad for the guy, but I just realized: We are paying him by the hour.
