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.
It did make for a pretty backdrop.
My adventure loving boys enjoyed the obstacle course.
This boy insists on covering his face when it is cold.
Something about keeping warm.
Crazy.
Doesn’t he understand I need pictures of his cute face?
At least my oldest understands.
Of course there was sledding when we got home!
What do you like to do when it snows?
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.
He is building it so that I have a place to sit while watching the boys play on the zipline and fort.
He found a local man that was selling lumber he had cut himself into slabs.
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.
I will miss dirty hands, faces, and knees, especially ones sticking out of torn jeans.
My husband was able to do his birthday miles friday.
36 miles of running and walking.
We brought him more water a couple of times and went to a nearby lake afterwards once.
Sometimes I forget how great it is to just let my boys explore an environment.
They soak in so much information by just being kids.
My oldest was determined to catch one of the little fish.
He did it!
I will have to do this more often.
Here is Nick at the end of his miles!
Good job baby!
I am perfectly content to just go on a hike for my birthday.
Maybe I should do my birthday minutes.
31 minutes of hiking should be a nice easy goal.
