If there is one post that reminds me of my family life in childhood, it's Split and Stack.

I laugh reading that post when I think of my own kids and all the complaining that goes on when it comes time for chores and doing what needs to be done to make this backyard become finally finished and this household run (and the youngest usually complain the least).  It's funny how I don't really remember  from my childhood vividly the trip to Disney or Europe or even every detail of the many camping trips we took.  But I  remember "doing wood".  And "doing" wood involved many weekends....Sometimes riding up to our land, with my Aunt and Uncle....Always with a tuna fish sandwich with crunchy carrots and peppers in it and Chocolate pudding pie for dessert.  I can still taste it.  It was part of this being together around a chore which made our family, our family.  Here's to the stuff they will remember, the mundane daily stuff that makes strong families......I'm thankful for the work.
