Manual Labor

James has been working on these planter boxes for it seems like forever! He kept getting held up by broken drill bits, rocks, and measuring the wood wrong! Finally it is complete so it was time to fill them with the dirt from our fence posts. Carter wanted to help and took it very seriously. He would fill up his bucket (about 3 scoops full) and carry it over to the boxes and dump it. The funniest part was the grunting noises he made while doing all this. He always wants to be our little helper.
The planter boxes still need more dirt, but look pretty good huh? Go James!
These are just some random pics of Carter playing around. He got these glasses which he calls his "Thomas glasses". He calls them that because he saw some other glasses with Thomas the tank engine on the side but they were about 3 times as much money as these. I just lied and told him that these were Thomas glasses too. He fell for it. He thinks he is the coolest kid on the block when he is wearing them.
He also loves to wear any of our shoes. Watching him walk is always entertaining!

It's so nice to have little helpers in the house . . . and the planter boxes look wonderful, James!

Btw, I wish I knew how to keep sunglasses on Ryan. He only wants to wear them if they're mine!
