Wood Pile

As we were nearing the end of operation "backyard makover for Marci's wedding open house" we decided it was finally time to tame the wood pile and move it to a new location out of the way.  I was inside making dinner, so Curtis tackled the project with his two trusty helpers.

Through this entire project our little boys have really stepped up to the task and have learned that fun can be had when you work hard together.

Nathan loves his work gloves, and I love that he can put them on all by himself this year.  With how much little boys take gloves off, it sure saves me a lot of time when I don't have to put them back on their tiny fingers.

Bracken is a machine.  He just keeps on going till there is no more to do.

Nathan works hard too but he takes time to enjoy a few extra curricular activites along the way.  About every 10 minutes he would take a swing break.

Once all the wood was relocated, we needed to clean up the wood chips and random debris that had blown under the pile.  Nathan's hunger brought him into the house to check on dinner's status.  That left Bracken alone with Daddy and Nathan's work gloves (which Bracken snags every chance he gets) to finish up.  Bracken pretty much single handedly filled the entire trash back with leaves and twigs.  It amazed me to see my little one year old completely focused on such a grown up task.

Good work my boys!
