Fall Work Day

Sam works 6 days a week. He only has Saturdays off. Being so, it makes it incredibly hard to find the time to do all the things we want to do. Do we spend our Saturday doing much needed errands like grocery shopping, etc.? Do we get caught up on a million little to-do's that we've been putting off? Do we wrap up that project we're only halfway done on? Do we spend the day doing yard work? Or do we say fuck it and go do something fun as a family? 

Our decision always varies on our mood, if there is anything extremely pressing and time sensitive, the weather, the kids....

This past Saturday there was no denying that we HAD to get our Fall yard work day. We had to get everything wrapped up and ready for winter. We'd been chipping away at it for weeks, doing a little here and a little there, and it was time to just finish it up. We needed to finish stacking and tarping hay, weed whacking and raking the extended yard, clean out the back dog run, pick up all the trash and scrap behind the shop, split and stack firewood and clean up the fire pit area, and last but certainly not least, burn our debris pile! It's not all work and no fun over here, lol. 

It was all hands on deck for our Fall work day.  Everyone pitched in. I didn't get photos of all our work, and somehow I managed to not get a single photo of Molly doing anything, lol, but I did of the boys working on the wood pile and of Tim and I enjoying the bonfire. 

The kids worked hard. I love it when everyone (mostly happily) chips in and contributes as needed. We work all year to build up our debris pile so we can have a large bonfire in the Fall and it definitely didn't disappoint this year! It feels good to have all of that work done for the year. All set for winter!
