On Saturday, Jesse took both the girls to a "workday" at church to help with spring cleanup. They wore their little gardening gloves and they worked their little butts off all day! They hauled mulch (and climbed/slid down the mulch pile), pulled weeds, and did lots of other stuff to "work on God's yard." They were there from 9am until about 4pm, and when they got home, they had to strip off in the utility room... Josie had mulch all the way down in her diaper, and Sadie's feet (she had on her garden shoes) were completely black (even between her toes). They immediately headed for the bathtub, then once they were all cleaned up, they collapsed on our bed with Jesse and all three of them zonked out and slept until 6:30. I had to force them to get up to eat supper, and then they went back to bed and slept all night. Jesse was so proud of them!
So today, it was a beautiful day outside (one of the first of the year) and silly me decided to do some yardwork. Since I can barely bend over now, it was NOT an easy task. Luckily, the girls donned their gloves, grabbed their rakes, and got busy helping me. It's so cute to see them digging, carrying sticks and leaves, pulling weeds, and being little gardeners! We put pinwheels all over the place, and then they drew on the driveway with sidewalk chalk. It was a lovely day :)
