work boots

We have two work days at our family cottage: one in the spring and one in the fall.

In the spring, there is tons to do. Wash all the bed linens (we have beds to sleep almost 30). Wash all the windows. Put the porch screens in. Wash all the walls, cupboards, floors, everything top to bottom. Put the dock out, the raft. Tidy up the yard. Sweep and hose down the house siding.

But in the fall, hehe, there is not much to do. And yesterday was a perfect autumn day to not do much.

We had time to color.



Enjoy the sun.

Crawl around.

Look at each others' faces.


Drink coffee. Cuddle.

Oh, and then we also did some work. Like take out the porch screens.

Wash porch windows.

Find where the windows go. This is the hardest part.

And put them up.

The babies kept themselves occupied.



While their mommies, daddies, grandmas and grandpas worked.

But often the babies also helped.

And then they had to take a break.

Because the loving is the most important part.
