mulch mountain!


our delivery of mulch really inspired us today. it became a family project. the kids claimed it as a mountain at first and even dug tunnels, acting like the many hamsters we have left behind. then they went to work. they all worked for hours hauling piles of mulch to the back play spot. lila found her old wheel barrow and sean squeezed himself onto his backhoe for maybe the last year. as usual, it tasted great to benjamin!






look what jason managed to find while he was loading mulch...




ben did his best to climb our tree on the front yard. luckily he didn't get very far. i see some mischief in his future!







after hours of hauling and digging and lifting, the kids were just ready to go! they persuaded us into a family trip to the park. how do you say no to that! we all geared up as it had gotten much colder and set out. sean got such a kick out of ben riding a "vehicle" to the park just like he and lila. ben enjoyed it so much - he knew he was doing something cool.
