How To Keep 5 Small Children Busy

Let them give the baby a bath!! He loved it!! They all had to change their shirts and E's pants when they were done but they had a blast!! 

Some Wood Fun!!

The kids wanted to make some $$ this week so Papa and I told them if they stacked the firewood on the trailer FULL UP they would each earn $3. Well it took them awhile, girls stacking boys putting the wood in, but they did it. Papa spent time out there too and made them a fire to warm up around and moved the trailer so they wouldn't have to haul it very far. They were working in Maggie's pen and she REALLY liked the fire, she singed her self!!, and when the load was finished Papa moved it and the kids to the wood pile!! Maggie was VERY confused about that!! She followed right behind them like a mother hen!! The kids had a great time and the weather was perfect for it. Not too cold that R froze solid. They watched Papa unload it with the skid steer for a minute then ran inside to get their money!! We have a ton of change around here so I paid them in change.. each one differently and used it as a math lesson :) They loved it.
