First Day ~November 2014

I finally remembered to join Journey to Josie in documenting our first day of the month!

We had our first frost!

Which of course called for baking.

We all dressed pretty warm to go out and work on the boys tree fort!

Nick is building them a tree fort with a zipline!

We have been setting my camera’s interval timer to take a picture every 2mins while out working.

So I totally cheated on this one since my camera was set to document the day anyway!

mimosa

We have a bunch of Mimosa trees in our back.

I like to just sit and watch them dance in the breeze and watch the sunlight play with them.

I took the few pictures I was actually doing something to put in this post…

Most of the decking was up so these boys got to get up in the fort for the first time!

I have been calling it my sunrise/sunset viewing platform.

I am sure that I will share with the boys though.

photosession

I left to do a photo session of this adorable family.

When I got back we headed to lowes to pick up a few things and as soon as we got back from that all the boys thought we should finish hooking up the zipline so we could try the LED seat.

It was a huge hit.

Who would not want to ride a zipline in the dark?

Me…

cold

It was chilly out there.

I am enjoying this taste of fall we are getting though!

 

I think projects that have you document your whole day are so great!

If I could look back at a typical day of my grandma as a little girl it would be wonderful!

The history buff in me loves anything that encourages documenting things for future generations.

 

I will be sharing more pics of the fort as we get further along!
