Cutting Wood

On July10th, we went up to the mountains to cut a load of wood for the winter. This is a project that is difficult at best, and extra difficult with two small children and a chain saw that refuses to start-however we were able to get almost a full truck load of wood. I put Brailie down on a blanket with some toys but now that she is crawling she went right to the edge and found the grass, flowers and weeds and probably ingested enough foliage to take care of her veggie intake for a couple of days. I am thinking I am just going to give the girl a leaf of lettuce each day for lunch and let her munch away-what a little rabbit. I snapped a few of these pictures in between loading wood.

Just like Uncle Daniel

This kept Allie entertained for a few minutes.

Cute girl

At our last stop Allie was just dancing and singing and doing her own thing up and down the road. It was the cutest thing in the whole world. I took a video of it but Blogger is not letting me load videos (dumb thing). I was so proud of her for entertaining herself for probably 15 minutes while Greg tried to get his chain saw going.

On our way home we stopped and had a picnic on the side of the road in the mountains and Allie was sure she wanted to walk home. We promised her ice cream if she would just ride with us in the truck. She fell asleep not too long into the drive and so we decided to just keep going and not stop in Moad after all for the treat. Wouldn't you know the first thing she said when she woke up back at home was, "I want my ice cream." I guess she is getting too old to forget those kinds of things. Too old and too smart.
