Work for your dinner

Yesterday the kids and I spend most of the afternoon outside picking up sticks, trimming tree branches, clearing brush, and raking leaves. You know, yard work. I worked them most of the afternoon. Yes, it was cold. Yes, it was hard work. But yes, it needed to be done. We made a huge pile of stuff and set it on fire.

And then since I am such a nice, loving mother, I made them fix their own dinner by the burn pile. I know, mother of the year!


Roasted hot dogs and potato chips. I mean, who doesn't love that???

They loved it so much they want to do it again! :)
