Catch up weekend.
Our wood stove has been on flat out to cope with the cold spell so a mild weekend meant a frantic attack on the woodpile to build stocks back up.
One of the good things with the children getting older is them being more able to help. IT stuns me the number of families where the adults bustle and rush round running the house and the young people watch telly, play playstations, internet away, waiting for the next meal to arrive, surrounded by the debris of the last one.
Everyone in this house is expected to do something.
#firewood has been us this weekend, one of the positives of the cold spell has been removing the need for intensive chivvying.
Given the choice between no fire and work our children select work everytime.
But there's more, Gloria has been off the run for a while, Bethan anD Taliesin sorted that today, that meant removing both the front wheels while the truck is on blocks and stripping the brakes out.
Now, if you think thats a lot of work involving big lumps of metal, you would be spot on right!!.

Right there with you, our kids also know sitting on their backsides doesnt get dinner on the table.
Hope the wood pile lasts a while!
Amen to that - I reckon if Mog can have meaningful responsibilities then any child can!
