Happy Helpers

Saturday was a beautiful day!  I decided to use it to my advantage and clean the weeds out of my backyard (well, at least start... because there were a lot and I only had so much time).  I brought Preston outback, and while the kids were playing, I got to work.  Within minutes I had some extra helpers.  Noelle was quick with buckets and a rake.  She started raking while Melanie and Oliver started gathering them and filling the buckets (I was pulling them).  Soon they started singing and dancing while working.

 Melanie was a muse, making up her own songs about making the world a beautiful place.

 Once in a while, Oliver would take a break to "fix" something.

 Here is my happy helper!  Noelle is amazing.

 Oliver was a man with a plan and really enjoyed filling his bucket.

 Preston hung out in his swing and let us know when the time was up.  (Eventually he grew hungry).

 Soon it was apple snacking time for my happy helpers!
