Chris noticed the floorboards under the oldest part of the house while we were in the basement..
I really haven’t bought much new this year at all in the way of Christmas decorations, but having a new (old) house to play around in has made all my leftover stuff from past years feel brand new.. More Christmas fun to come soon!Have you been outside to play today?.Today I’m reminding myself to always keep my family’s health and wellness at the very top of my list of priorities.

I thought you might enjoy remembering this with me.We’re planning on starting a garden next Spring, so we had to dig up the grass in a section of the property because there wasn’t any garden from when the last owners lived here.. We decided to tackle the huuuuuge task this fall so that we’ll have a nice level area to make a skating rink for this Winter and then in the Spring, we can get right to work planting.. It’s really just a dirt rectangle right now, but we have plans for a white picket fence around it with gates on either end and berries planted all around.Maybe next year.Maybe.. Lucky for us the old owners left behind a whole bunch of amazing garden tools for us, which made the job really fun.. A rusty old red wheelbarrow.

You know getting to use something as cool as this would make even the most reluctant gardener at least a little tempted to get to work..I actually used a pitch fork!

For something other than just posing for funny pictures!.
And how amazing is this pile of bricks?.Well, that was the part where Kennedy liked it so much that I didn’t even get in trouble for painting over her colorful “masterpiece” from 6 months ago.. Or maybe she just hasn’t realized it’s the same box yet!.
My little tissue box will partying over at.It’s Party Time!.
You should come too!I just love a darkened house some days when I want things to seem extra quiet.So does my camera apparently.
