My kid can out stack your kid....lol

[ckarotka]

As suggested from another thread I decided to re-stack the oak I had in an HH to a single row.
Out of three kids the one that wants to help is almost 2y/o.
Not bad for her size, those splits weigh about 15-25%% of her total body weight

My little one is 14 months.... hope she'll be wiling to help when she get older........ Maybe she will want to drive the tractor (Ok, I know, I don't have a tractor yet, but it's the plan....).
Cute picture

That is my experience as well.

Cute kid. Thanks for sharing!

Get 'em started early!

THAT is a great picture! What kind of camera are you using?

As far as the oak holz hausens go, they give me no trouble.....although it's good to be ahead!

How long did it take her to move the whole Holz hausen? I wanna make sure my kids are working fast enough.

It's a Sony a200. They stopped production this year I think. It's more the lens than camera. Sony bought Minolta, so all the old auto focus lens will fit Sony. The lens is a Minolta 50mm prime, no zoom, 20 years old, got it off ebay for $150, camera bought new for $400 two years ago.

I just felt like it wasn't drying fast enough, gotta burn this year, 13months drying time is all I can give it.

Thanks for all the nice replies to everyone else also!!

I had my two-year-old out on a "wheeler ride" this weekend and as we passed some trees that had blown over, he turned his head to me and said, "Firewood?" :lol: And my wife says I don't teach the kids anything useful!

I don't want to get too far off topic here, but it is the off season, for me anyway. I swear these are the last pics like this I will post. %-P

Has an attachment for the nuk? My oldest loved it and didn't give it up until probably almost 3 years old. I couldn't get my boys to take one to save my soul though!

This is true according to my crazy camera buddy. He uses a Nikon D300 with all manual settings and his pictures are stunning. He always tells me "It's not the body". I just bought a D3000 entry level DSLR just to get rid of the delay I had with my point and click and he keeps trying to talk me into all these expensive lenses. :lol:

Great pictures! I just showed them to my crazy camera buddy(co-worker) and he says you have a very nice hand.

It must be an old camera. That second pic is still black and white.

A little bit. Most of the time she will play without it but "I" forget to take it away. More my fault than hers.

In a blink of an eye and she'll be in college.
