Yardwork

The boys are becoming quite the little helpers, especially Tyler. On Saturday we went to go get some posts so we could finally fix our fence. Tyler asked if he could help fix it and Justin promised he wouldn't do it without his help. Because of rain we didn't get to it Saturday night so the first thing out of Tyler's mouth Sunday morning was "I fix the fence with my hammer". We told he could help after church and nap time. Once again tho, as soon as nap time was over the rain came.

Even though we couldn't get to the fence Justin went out and cleaned up a bunch of tree limbs and weeds. Tyler then helped carry all the limbs over to me to let me cut them off. Carter saw Tyler doing this and also carried some over. When that was done he helped put them into the trash can. But first he had to "fix" them by banging them with his hammer. He was doing such a great job of helping that when the trash can was full and we couldn't fit anymore in he got pretty upset. However we promised him that after the trash men came he could help us put the rest of them in. The best part - we told him how big a helper he was being and without a second thought he says in a genuine voice "thank you". I am so proud of the boys they are becoming. Hopefully we will get to that fence tonight - its all Tyler will talk about.
