    Marci, you have a knack with decorating. When the boys are a little older and your work load lightens, maybe you could take an online course in interior design and start a side hustle to go along with Crandall's contracting business.

    I would politely recommend establishing a bed-time routine. Sit with all the boys, read a short book or two with them. Play some quiet, soothing music and then take them to bed. Them playing right up to bedtime makes it harder for them to shut down and go to sleep... do it the same time every night and it will help them relax and go down easier. I am just suggesting this out of love and trying to make bedtime a lot less chaotic... after a few days, they will fall into the routine and learn to really like it. Marcie is doing awesome herding 3 young boys thru the day!!! Love the work you are doing Crandle!!!

    When my children were young, I would draw shapes on their back with my finger and have them guess the shape. Having to concentrate really slowed them down and got them really relaxed. When they got a little older, I changed from shapes to letters. It was also a way to get them interested in learning shapes and letters.

    Marcie, I’m so glad that you have decided to homeschool Maverick. He’s such a bright little boy and can benefit so much from and individualized learning plan plus the bonus of learning life skills from spending so much time watching and helping Crandall and you with the house rebuild, all of the projects y’all have going on, gardening, all of the animals… etc etc. I can’t wait to see his progress. So proud of y’all and the amazing job y’all are doing with the boys.

    I love the idea of a faint green wall with the black...so pretty! I hope you find the shapes and color you love!
    The home build is mesmerizing....I can't get enough of building, and decorating content!

      I do that. Longer large ones are nicer for bigger casserole dishes. I put little rubber bumpers (like you put on back of pictures or cabinet doors to keep from banging wall) on bottom so they won’t scratch table. I did same with some square hand painted Mexican tiles and use them for coasters. They really came out nice

    Oh no terrible twos is coming. Once you open the crib they will test your patience. You could buy tile that looks like wood. You need a filtration system for your water. That was the first upgrade we made because water with hard minerals damage the pipes and fixtures.

    Marci, you can start his schooling anytime you want too. I love the tile with a design you showed us. You can’t laugh at the boys when they are naughty. I know it can be hard. Maybe you should try sitting in the room and put them back to bed when they get up. It’s hard but just keep doing it. They will realize this is what we have to do. And do it. Crandall they miss their Daddy. Thanks for the video.

    I believe there is a type of box that you can put over the outlet, then get a plastic cord cover and put it on a shelf? So they can’t unplug it or maybe put something in front of the outlet like a dresser? So scary.

  • @cathywilson5378
    @cathywilson5378 Před 22 dny +1

    There are outlet protectors that are a sturdy box that covers the entire outlet even with things plugged in. It is fastened with long screws and holes along the edge for the cords to pass through. You have to unscrew the whole protector to plug in something or unplug something, but it will keep the boys from messing with the outlet. Good luck. 😃

    Marci, Can a dry erase marker be used in the learning book for Maverick ? Then you can clean/erase and come back to it another day.... also when done - use it with the twins..
    If you have troubles getting older dry erase marker off - use Hand Sanitizer !

    Great video Marci and Crandall! I enjoyed it.
    I drink electrolyte drinks when I get overheated.
    The house build is coming along nicely. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.
    Marci I feel for you. Once they climb out of a crib it won't stop.
    My youngest climbed out of his crib before was 1 yr old. I just took down the crib and put him in a twin sized bed. He was great. No major problems. This was mid 1980's so net or tent beds weren't around at that time. Things will all work with the boys in their 1/2 crib bed.
    It's much easier to make a transition when you've got Crandall. You're doing great Marci.
    If Crandall does a few big jobs a year you'll be a pro!
    When we had our house completely gutted I thought that I never want to go to another tile/flooring, bathroom and paint store ever again. I was 58 when we had to rebuild. I don't want to go through that process ever again!!
    You are both doing your best with everything happening at once.

A sick baby should take presidents over shopping for a remodel. I hate the fact that he has twenty thousand unfinished projects and continues to start three without finishing what he has to complete. He's a contractor with really no employees to finish them. This poor guy will probably be waiting years for his to be finished. Crandell will run off and start building a fourth of his shipping container shop and start a portion of the boys bathroom, while worthless Marci will still be running around trying to figure out which tile suits her. If she can't handle the kids now, what is she going to do with 2 year old twins and home schooling Maverick.

    Just thinking, you may want to plumb the bathroom or at least put the bathroom toilet, tub, and large items before you frame the last wall. Even if you leave them in boxes, just throw a tarp over to keep it all dry. After the wall is done, it may be a pain.
    Looks like you are doing a great job.

    FYI...decor that lasts for years needs to be less obviously screaming the year you install it...accents that can be easily replaced can be your eye catchers...does this make sense ❤
