Stacking Wood

We have been sorting, cutting down to size, and stacking mill ends lately.  "We" as in our family.

Many hands make light work, but it IS work.  Stacking these mill ends is like completing a puzzle.

I threw some smaller pieces in a laundry basket for the kids to play with outside.   The kids kept busy with them for two whole days last week!  They built houses for stuffed animals, stacked towers to knock down, and created stepping blocks to avoid falling into the lava. (Grass.)

 Ethan worked on his hammering skills.  He built this flying contraption.

He also built this.  He said it was "Perry The Platypus" from the cartoon Phineus And Ferb.  He painted it later, I just didn't take a photo.

I suppose stacking wood isn't all that bad.   We are grateful to have the wood for winter.  Our woodstove is our main heat source!

We hung this sign to remind us to always be grateful. I love the color so much I want to paint the kitchen in it. ♥♥♥
