Slab wood and a show! The kids love when we have a wood delivery day. Today we had 10 cord of slab wood delivered. I love that creaking snapping sound of moving wood. While I like the idea of the wood boiler in-floor heating system, we unfortunately have had nothing but headaches from it. Here's hoping this year our house stays above last years 56 degrees.

There's a good shot of my shy nephew, Cardman (nicknamed for his love of Pokeman cards) I have to trick him into getting a photo by calling his name while his back is turned. You can tell he's on to my game by the squinting of his eyes. Now, Butch is a different story all together..."CHEESE"

Why, what, how, who, how come??? Jedi, 4, has had a bout of "how come's?" lately.

"Mom, how does it rain?"

"how does the water get IN the clouds?"

"Are the clouds above space or in space?"

"What is bigger than humans?"

trees? hills? cars? trucks? birds? eagles? deer? clouds?

"when will I be a grown up?"

"how do I be a grown up?

"what is your middle name, last name, first name?"

"when will we be there?"

These questions plus a multitude more were asked within a 10 minute span on the drive to my mom's yesterday. How fortuitous that today's science lesson was about the cycle of water...thanks Lo!!!

Holy moley, that's a lot of wood!!! I loved having a woodstove and fireplace while growing up. The closest we get to it now, is the outdoor fireplace at our family camp. I love collecting fallen wood (we have it in abundance) or having the kids do it and keeping the fire going all day long. Memories.....
