Grant and Cora stomping down our kindling for more space.

Join us as we discuss:

Texas is preparing for a cold snap.  I mean a very cold snap.  We are expecting below freezing temperatures so the Homestead de Gibson has been preparing.  

Our new home has a fireplace in the living room (a fire burning stove to be precise) so we have spent the weekend cutting up kindling and fuel for the stove.  

I did not force the kids to help.  I merely added that getting to sit in front of the fire was only for those that helped cut the wood.  I did not force them to help one time.  

When they asked to take “a break” or asked “Dad, do I have to work anymore” I simply smiled and said “of course not.”  

My kiddos worked.  And they worked hard.  We finished up tonight well into dark.  Imagine me with a flashlight in my mouth while I’m running a chainsaw and splitter the whole time. But those kids rolled me cut up logs for splitting all night.  I was genuinely amazed at their persistence.  We put in about 9 hours of work today.

All that to say, we are bushed and ready for bed.  There will be no show today and we will see you guys on Wednesday.
