- Kari “practicing” piano. She even sings for us sometimes!
- Girls on a non-school morning, cuddled up and reading.
- A feeble attempt of mine to let the kids craft a bit.
- They enjoyed it at least.
- Girls watching Daddy chainsaw-ing. They watched him fell a giant tree and since then Kari says, “Daddy boom! Daddy boom!”
- This weekend alone he went through 3 chainsaw blades and cut up two large cottonwoods. Now hopefully people wanting free firewood will come haul most of it away!
- In the foreground, the base of the smaller tree felled. In the back left is the bigger tree laying down. Things are looking better.
- Josiah loved the pumpkin guts.
- Signe did too!
- Micah was less enthralled.
- They worked really hard and did 90% of the project independently.
- Including design and clean up!
- Kari didn’t get to carve one (maybe next year?) but was excited to see them!
