My Garden "Helpers"

I had many thoughts as to the prospective title of this post: "Mommy, the Slave-Driver" (that one donated by Ryan) or possibly "Aren't I Glad They Don't Get Allowance Yet?" Actually, the boys weren't really doing anything good or bad to my flower beds. Just simply digging in dirt! Something they love, love, love!

Of course Alex wanted to use my spade to dig....hmmmm, maybe not such a great idea, kid! So I got him a soup spoon instead.

But when Thing 2 saw that Thing 1 had a spoon...well...we had to get another spoon!



Of course Sam finally got wise and took off down the sidewalk toward the church before Mommy really did put him to work!

And these were the irises about a week later!
