Preparing For Winter -Stacking Wood!
In the spirit of how our family loves to have fun while working below is a picture blog of the day we conquered our wood pile. We did this also in October, but I was still grieving the loss of our adoption so never got our pictures on the blog. Better late than never! =)
The task begins…
If only we could have gotten the wood pile dumped closer to the bulk head.
Running back for more!
Even the little helpers are BIG helpers!
One running back for more and one with an arm full.
Going down!
Being helpful to each other is always a good thing!
Such joyful, big helpers!
We are conquering the pile!
Still working hard and smiling wide!
Chloe liked being Papa’s helper by handing him the logs on the floor to be stacked up high.
One wall of wood almost completed!
This was their attempt to pose and act pathetically tired for Mama.
Even little Princesses are God’s servants!
Interesting approach…holding one log behind the back and the other by the side.
I love the Fall colors behind Jared as he brings his arm full of wood down.
Look at all that wood we have stacked with such big helpers!!
Mama and Papa even get in a picture. Thank you, Jared!
Chloe wanted a picture “with the parents.” Yes, that is exactly what she told Jared. So cute!
One tough Gal!
One big wall of wood!
Caleb found a treasure! He was convinced this log looked like the head of a dinosaur. Of course!
Don’t mess with that log!
Whew! Getting tired, but almost done!
Papa rallies the troops back up to work.
Last four logs!
We did it!!! Two walls of wood stacked so we can school all winter by a warm fire. Family working joyfully together is such a blessing!
Jared enjoying the fruit of our labor. He was reading his independent reading assignment for school on a cold morning.

That is so cool. You are such a good mom.
@And_still_the_stars_shine - Thank you. You are so sweet. I still owe you some pics via email don’t I? Can you shoot me your email address in a private message and I’ll get them off to you? I believe God’s beautiful nature should be shared and enjoyed by all so I would be more than happy to do so.
Too cute! What an awful lot of work you did! That has got to be my least favorite chore. Thus, no wood to stack this year. I love the dinosaur log pics.
It looks like pup is enjoying the fruits of your labor too! That’s my doxie’s favorite place in the winter too!
That’s awesome! I need to do the same thing- order some wood. I don’t know where to by it up here. We just got a new computer, today- imac. so I need to look that up.
How many cords is that? I love your cellar doors! I never thought of storing it in our basement. Good idea! I really enjoyed your photos and all your recent post. Praying!
