Hi-Ho ..Hi-Ho..

If you saw my post a few weeks back, you saw that my husband had surgery on his wrist.

Recovery has been going well. He has not been taking it as easy as I would prefer, however, he is listening to his doctors and physical therapist who are essentially telling him to let "pain be his guide". So as long as he is not over-doing it, he should be ok.

When he heard that.. it was all bets off! He has figured out how to modify just about everything so that he is not in pain-- which is good-- but I still wish he would take it easy. He will be back to working 10-12 hour days before we know it and I really wish he would just rest a little more.

Alas.. here we are

One of the best things about my husband (aside from being a hard worker), he loves when we do things together- even house or yard work.. and he LOVES to have our son with us learning and exploring.

Today was a yard work day

We had to add in some more wood chips into our chicken run since it had been dug out and scratched in quite a but from our girls.

So after breakfast- we headed outside to shovel wood chips into the wheel barrow and Noah's little red wagon and fill in the spots that needed it.

It only took about an hour and honestly, Noah did not pull his weight 😂 but we managed! He loves to help and although it may take twice as long, we want him to learn that we take care of our home together. It is a family effort and everyone has their part!

I am just happy that he is still excited to help.. I know these days will not last forever..

Very nice, Katie
It is a bit better working outside with the little cool down we have had.
Just don't overwork my helpers, lol

Well, I guess most men are a bit stubborn when it comes to injuries, I have a few of these stories about my bf as well. Let's hope his recovery will not be stagnated!

Looks like so much fun having the kid help in the yard!

It is very fun seeing something like this.
I love seeing parents being hands on parents, which is kind of rare nowadays - at least in community and in places that I've seen.

Family time such as this must be very fun and very important specially for your child.

Great job and thank you for sharing your fun activity to the community. 🙂

Yes- we are very hands on! He helps me in the kitchen and helps us clean the house, do laundry. We bring him along with all of it! How else will he learn?!

Glad your husband is doing better but it looks like you had plenty of help. Your mini-helper was really putting his back into it. Thanks for sharing.

That is so precious. Dad's little helper. Miniature tools for his hands are the best.

Thanks for sharing.
