Pumpkins..Ewwwww!

This is what pumpkins look like after being left outside in the South.

They are really squishy and fun to poke!

Cutest pumpkinhead ever!

How many?

How many Mercers does it take to fix a Jeep? Or should I rephrase that and ask how many GENERATIONS of Mercers does it take?

Only 3 generations needed today :o)

"Look Mom I have gloves on so my hands won't get greasy!"

Using Daddy's tools to fix his truck.


Big brother came to help too.

The red battery operated truck had seen its better days so what do you do? You take the seats, power pedal and steering wheel off of it, then remove the tires from a broken wagon, grab a battery and an old shelf and wire them all up to create your own "slow-cart" (it was waaaay to slow to be called a go-cart) If you build it, they will drive it!!




Almost ready to go!

It works!!

I LOVE that my husband is capable of building random stuff and fixing the things that we have and I am SO happy that he and Pop are teaching the boys the same skills.
