Every year I dread winter because with winter, comes the cold. As I've said, we have 40 windows that might as well be open because of the amount of cold air that comes rushing thorough them. After years of spending around 5K on oil, we decided to purchase an outdoor furnace. Last year was the first winter using it and I wish we had invested in one a long time ago! With the warm house comes a lot of preparing...for my husband that is. Fortunately, we had a lot of offers to cut down free trees both on my mother's property and others.
Michael has tried to take our oldest son with him as much as it is safe to do. I love seeing them get ready to head out for a hard days work. Garnet, 6, loves it! He helps to carry the little logs and when they split, he gets to pull the handle down while daddy holds the log. My husband has the patience of Job! I love to see them working side by side for many reasons. Even at 6, these are some of the benefits I could think of off the top of my head:
1. Memories.
2. Sense of accomplishment.
3. Instilling a work ethic.
4. Providing for the family.
5. Exercise.
6. Building teamwork.
With the cooler weather headed this way, so is Halloween. I thought I'd share a few new things I just added to my Etsy store,
Pink Pearl Studio
Enjoy your day and thank you for all the kind feedback. I appreciate you all!
