Things I Say

Things I say when we're doing wood:

"Pick up bark.  No, not the smallest pieces you can.  Pick up the biggest pieces and fill that sled up...
pick them up now."

"Wow!  You filled that wheelbarrow up fast.  Good job!"

"Here, Blossom3, you run the wheelbarrow back and get started filling it up again, while I stack these logs."


"Pull that sled faster.  Quit moping."

"Get a drink of water and get back at it!"

"Stop complaining about the rope and PULL."

"Don't take off your gloves.  Keep them on and keep working."

"That's enough breaks.  Get back to picking up bark."

"That IS a super cool bug you found!"  


"Quit worrying about how much longer we have and pay attention to your splitting."

"Don't be picky about what log you're going to split next; just grab one and split it."

"You're right, we WILL be warm and toasty this winter."

"Good teamwork!!!!"

"That is about the biggest, ugliest spider I've ever seen.  I wonder what kind it is?"

"You know how it works; if you ask how much longer, it's another five minutes added on."

"Do you want to be nice and warm and cozy when the snow flies?  
Then, get busy splitting and filling the wheelbarrow."

"HUSTLE!"

"Leave the baby birds alone.  Their mama knows where they are and will feed them.  You're right though, I think they are grackles."


"Daddy's gonna be so excited at how much we stacked!"

"Now, let's go down to the creek."
