What would the Lorax think?!

It has definitely crossed my mind...that the Lorax might pop out of one of these logs and give us a good talking to. But we did come by this wood the honest way. A good neighbor up the way thinned out his woods and offered us this beautiful oak for firewood. 12 cords for a good price, and with our woods waning on firewood and that shiny new splitter waiting in the quonset building, it was a great deal.

Needless to say, Jay and Chris have a lot of work ahead of them with all this wood to split and move. I'm not even going to pretend that I am responsible for managing any of our firewood. All the glory goes to our men here, and their blood, sweat and tears do not go unappreciated.

We've also entered the crazy March pre-spring weather. While the boys still need to wear caps and jackets, 40 degrees and sunny is definitely warm enough to play legos on the deck! I'm fully aware that we will likely get another 12 inches of snow before winter is out, so there may still be more time for skiing and sledding before plants go in the ground!

Little P is especially fond of being outside...much happier sleeping on his dad's chest in the Baby Bjorn than screeching in his crib, that's for sure. I have a feeling I'll be scurrying around at an even faster pace once Phelan is truly mobile. Crawling seems only days or weeks away!

Welcome, spring!

Ha! I love the legos on the deck. Looks like the boys are ready to be outside as much as you guys are!
