quick note

We finished putting together our step stools last night! Although we ran a little overtime by a half hour. It was a controlled chaotic night! All the moms that were there helped out. No dads came! I did have one mom go out to her car a get a drill. The boys were supposed to do the work themselves and she proceeded to drill all the screws for him and another boy. Ugh! When I realised that that was what was happening I told the boy to try to do it himself. He did and then mom only tightened the screws down tight. Needless to say those two boys finished well before all the others who did do it themselves. Then the mom got mad that we ran late! What can ya do? We also had a small problem with the wood splitting but they turned out alright in the end. No one got hurt and I even changed a bit in the drill twice! (Some of the pre drilled holes where a little off so we had to re-drill the pilot holes.)
All in all we had a good experience and next week we will be staining them. Yay! I can't wait to show them off at the Pack meeting!
