One Giant Stack of Firewood

Well we finally ran out of firewood the other day and had to get some more. Jennie searched the Internet looking for the best deals. She finally found a guy who was pretty reasonable so we got two loads. The kids had swimming lessons on Tuesday so Nolan and I stayed home to stack. He was a big help and loved every minute of it. Usually when the kids help me Brooklyn and Maddux are good for a couple of minutes and then get tired. Nolan stayed out for an hour or so and only went in when I did. So now we will be warm again and can keep the $300 gas bills way down. The wood stove makes such a big difference and keeps us nice and toasty. Here are a couple of pictures from the stack. They dumped both right on top of each other and it was almost as tall as the bottom of the roof.


Here is our king of the hill.


Daddy with his big helper.

Of course I can't post pictures of one of the kids without throwing a couple of the others up.


Here is Brooklyn with Maddie showing off a sign that they made. They taped pine cones, leaves and rocks to a piece of sheetrock to create their sign. Not sure what it says but I know it took a roll of scotch tape to get everything to stick.


Maddux with his signature grin. I don't know what happened. He use to have the perfect smile and not has the fake one down.


Then there is the roll. Always up for a picture. Anytime he sees a camera he goes straight into his "cheeeeese." Doesn't even have to be our camera.
