The only time we have to work outside as a family is on the weekends. My husbands work schedule prevents him from having ANY daylight time at home! That means I am the one doing all the running to the activities that all of the kids have! From volleyball lesson to baseball practice and soon games, from basketball practice and running my oldest daughter to the Vets for her internship! I study all day trying to finish school- and run all evening! AHH- the joys of parenthood.
So today we cut up a fallen tree, cut up wood, cleaned the yards and drug limbs to a brush pile! Then for a treat, after dinner we built a campfire to roast marshmallows! Okay, okay- so Murf (my husband) and I really had a "Survivor competition". He bought some flint- one for each of us. We tied some twine a few feet off the ground. On ready, set, go; we had to run and get our materials and see who could build a fire big enough to burn through the twine the quickest! Let me tell ya- it's a lot harder to get fire with the flint than it looks! I did finally get a fire, but Murf beat me burning through the twine! The kids were standing there cheering us on too! It was a lot of fun. Then we moved the fire to the fire pit outside and sat out and listened to all the lake sounds!
What a great way to end a BUSY weekend!
