Neato Hay Fort!

The kids used leftover straw bales from our outdoor festival (discount outdoor seating!) to make a fort. It's neat. I am especially enthusiastic because I helped them make it. :-) We hope to keep it and put a tarp over the entrance to have a warm outdoor spot when it snows. In the spring we'll use the straw as mulch in the garden. Cool huh?

Conquerors

My little guys are rarely subdued. They are little conquerors. While this can seem tiring many times, I don't think I'd have it any other way. I love the way they want to tackle the world. It is pleasing to see the way they want to get out and experience things. My husband and I pray constantly for wisdom in guiding them through their conquests. I wanted to share this picture of them that so defines their wonderful, energetic spirit.
