The May long weekend is always a tough one to guess on how the weather will be….will it be cold and snow (yes it can and has snowed on the May long weekend), will it be hot and sunny, will it rain? Lucky for us, this year the weekend was hot and sunny. I had a chance to go out the Friday night and buy all my flowers and veggies for the year – this is my favorite thing to do. I love picking out flowers and veggies that I will take care for the summer – is this a sign that I am a Mom or that I am getting old? I use to smirk at “those” people that would fill their flat bed carts with flowers….now I grab a flat bed cart and fill it heaping! Anyway, while I planted my marigolds, snap dragons, osteospermums, and other flowers that caught my eye, Owen and Brandon got to work as well.
We have some left over fence boards from when we built our fence a few years ago that we keep under our deck. Owen and Brandon are still short enough to play under the deck without bumping their heads (okay I should explain, our deck is raised and so we have say 5 feet or so clearance under the deck). Well Owen and Brandon came up with the idea that they should pull each board out and place it on the grass.
They worked together as a team, carrying the boards out, one-by-one. Owen didn’t need gloves, he told me. But Brandon NEEDED his working gloves.
And then they stood and beamed over their job well done.
They thought up some funny games and played on and around the boards for quite some time. And if you asked them what they were doing they would tell you….we’re busy workin’.
