Forest adventure

Sammy and I spent the past five days out at the family cabin, while drywall and cabinets were going up in the kitchen. It was just little man and I on our own and it felt like quite the adventure. There was sun, clouds, a bit of rain, crazy squirrels, hummingbirds buzzing by, lots of wagon rides, warm fires in the early morning, naps snuggled together, smokies & hot dogs, and mama’s beer & crochet time on the deck after Sam went to bed. And let’s be honest, there was also plenty of frustration, crying, tears, tantrums, and mama losing her patience (and not feeling great about that). There was also no internet or cell service. But we survived. We more than survived. I’m tired and my patience is thin, but we had some good adventures, my little man & I.

*And special thanks to my hubby & dad who spent so many days toiling over the kitchen (tackling drywall)! And thanks to our wonderful friends who came over to lend a hand too! There’s still lots of work left, but it’s starting to resemble a kitchen again.*
