Hammer Time

We took advantage of our slower winter work schedules and headed to the river cottage to do a bit more of work.  We also thought it would be great to see it in the winter and we were right.  The river was almost completely frozen but the neighbors warned against going out on the ice.  We did see several animal tracks out on the ice and it was fun trying to guess what kind it was. 
We did have some work to do on the cottage and it was cold out.  We had to keep our eyes on Little Man the entire time since all the tools were more interesting than his toys.  He is always watching and wanting to do exactly what we are doing.  I've climbed ladders only to feel him climbing up right behind me.

Little Man found some fun in walking around grabbing nails that had fallen, we tried to get him to put them in a coffee can and he did for a bit but then he found a box of screws and he had 21 of them down his onesie before we caught him.  After cleaning out all the screws from his clothing he went back to his nail collecting duties although this time he took one of the nails grabbed a hammer, he walked over to one of the scrap piece of wood.  He found a drill hole in the wood placed the nail inside the whole, picked up the hammer and began to hit it.  We did have a good laugh when he tried to remove the nail after hammering it and was frustrated it did not come out again.  He is moving around so much now and becoming the Little Man that I call him.
