I have to agree with Emma that Christmas is magical with kids. They even make snow and cold weather magical!!
Yesterday was a brutal day but, with the help of some wonderful neighbors and family who own a backhoe, we got the new culvert placed. It is covered and compacted but we still need to reinforce it so we never have to do this again!
In order to dig out for the culvert we had to drain most of the water out of the creek. To the delight and dismay of the kids we discovered that there are fish in the creek. And not just minnows! Full on 6-12 inch carp. Where were Henry and Stetson? We needed some fearless fishermen! They were floundering around in small puddles so we saved the ones that we could catch in a 5 gallon bucket and we took them to deeper water.
That is about all that we have to report. A little kid logic and wisdom to get your week started right:
Robin: Mom! There's a spider in the tub!
Rand: it's a daddy-long-leg!
Robin: No, it's a kid-long-leg. It's not very big.
