Boy Chores

Sometimes in the winter I almost dread doing chores in the Morning. Everything is twice as hard, water to haul, boy to dress, and all the extra 'help' I get that makes everything take twice as long. But I think someday when I am actually a crazy old goat lady, these will be some of my most cherished memories. Doing chores with the little man. In the quiet snowfall. And without fail, we always come in happier than when we went out. Something about all that fresh air. (Unless someone has really cold hands, or falls on the ice) so for now I will learn to appreciate all these little things for like we've heard, someday looking back, they will have been the big things.

I gave him his own pile of wood to stack and he says to me "mom, do you think we will be done with this before sundown?" Where does he even get these words? Sure made me laugh!
