Bathroom Remodel

Yesterday the kids had the day off school.  We spent the whole day building a wall in the bathroom, sheetrocking it, plastering, and problem solving.  It was wonderful to see the kids work together and figure things out together.  They learned a lot and developed their creativity and team working skills.  They also worked harder than a usual day.  I thought we need a lot more days like this.  We need to experience real problems and challenges and fix them regularly.  Book learning is wonderful, but working in the real world is also critical.  Developing patience with each other and a good work ethic is essential as well. In some ways I feel we've become a little soft.  So I'm going to make sure days like this happen more often.  I'm grateful Heavenly Father gave us each other.  I'm grateful I know we can be together forever.  My heart would break if this wasn't the case.
