Monica climbed quite high into a pine tree
because she wanted to make a reading nook among the pines. (That's the kind of thing that happens after your children read My Side of the Mountain.) She had to cut away branches to do it, which is probably not good for the tree. This was accomplished with a saw that was transported up and down the tree by the FIVE YEAR OLD! Yep, we're a safe family.
Bridget, your blog is hysterically familiar to me. This kind of thing so goes on in our family. Unfortunetly it's also the kind of thing that causes the neighbors alarm. Can't wait to move the brood out of the city!

It causes me alarm too! But I am so thankful that we have a bit of property for them to have adventures in.
I'm still praying for your house situation!
