I want to cherish them now.

Snowy Weekend

Last weekend was a little different than the one before it.

My husband thought that the snowy Saturday was a perfect time to go get some logs.

Of course there was sledding when we got home!

What do you like to do when it snows?

A sunny weekend

These pics make me laugh since it is currently raining, and they are calling for freezing rain and snow.

But a few weeks ago we had very warm weather and my husband started building me an Adirondack loveseat!

If you follow me on Instagram then you have already seen a peak at it.

plans

He is building it so that I have a place to sit while watching the boys play on the zipline and fort.

screwtogether

He found a local man that was selling lumber he had cut himself into slabs.

base

It is beautiful cedar.

While my husband was making all of this progress at the dry fit(he will take it all apart and glue it together after he is done making sure it all works), my boys were doing something a little less productive…

After they got good and dirty, they decided to try their hand at leaf carving.

I love it when they get really close to each other and doing something like this.

It is easier to take pictures of them when they are not running around like crazy.

hands

knees

I will miss dirty hands, faces, and knees, especially ones sticking out of torn jeans.
