While we were home this germy girls last weekend we (ok, they) tackled some yard work. Halle Kate had her ball cap on and was more than excited to be digging in the yard with her Daddy. For 95% of her life she has been a mama's girl but recently? She is becoming her Daddy's little buddy all the way.
And Matney? She needed a chair, sunglasses and lemonade to supervise the work. Oh, and a location change. The picture above had her too much in the sun so I had to move Her Highness to the shade.
Much better! And I should add that my chair, water and sunglassed self was right next to her the entire time!
Halle Kate was so excited to be dirty. That doesn't happen much on the days that Mama is in charge!
HK was serious about her work...actually, she was looking for "more squirmy wormies".
The weather was so pretty (and the task took SOOOO much longer than expected now that Jared had a "helper") that we were up and at 'em early the next morning. This time even Matney got in on the digging.
The girls created a dirt/rock monster. See the leaf hair and rock face? Cute idea!
Matney quickly lost interest.
And HK took advantage of M's distraction and destroyed the Dirt Monster....and had to run away FAST when Matney saw what she'd done. Doesn't she look sad to have upset her sister?
In the end, Matney was very proud of her dirtiness.
The weather was beautiful all weekend, the work got finished and we all had a great time laughing together in the yard.
