Saturday October 8

The day started out with the boy cutting up trees and loading the trailer with things that needed to be burned.

Port was a pretty good little helper.

I love watching those boys work together!

Makes my heart happy!!!

Then we got ready to burn our burn pile....but we needed to mow down some of the high weeds around the place.

I took that over....it went pretty well.

Kinda hypnotic :)

There is still lots to do....

The kiddos were good and had fun just playing around.

Madi was such a great help.

She walked with Dad around the fire stomping, with a shovel, any fire trying to get out of the circle.

And Cassi did a good job entertaining the little ones.

We decided to have a weeny roast for lunch.

The kiddos thought that was pretty great :)

Madi did such a great job helping with the bon fire.

After the fire was put out...she hung around making sure there was no little fires started.

She was happy to do it and really enjoyed being out there and helping Dad out.

So....Dad said he would teach her to drive the 4-wheeler as a reward.

She did really well.

And she was pretty happy with the reward!

Cassi went to another birthday party today.

She went to the Wings center.

After the fire, we loaded the trailer with all the construction junk that we couldn't burn in the bon fire.

So when we went to pick Cassi up, we headed to the transfer station.

Worked out nice.

When we got back home, Brent got to work on fixing up our well house.

Apparently at some point in it's life it was hit by a micro-burst and ripped the roof off.

There was no siding on it and it was looking pretty bad.

Plus we need to get it winterized before it gets too cold.

So he got to work on that....I helped as much as I could.

So did Port.

It will look good when we get it all done :)
