many hands

We have been loving our Monday night Family Home Evenings lately. The weather has made us get out and get busy and take advantage of our time all together.

Last Monday we called our friends the McManus’s and they met us at the high school tennis courts where we all ran around and played tennis. It was so fun and so warm out.

Last night we got busy in our garden. I couldn’t believe how stoked the kids were to weed. The whole time I was weeding my mom’s words were running through my head, “if you weed with two hands you get twice as much done.” Ha. I still only weed with one hand at a time. So there, lol.

We were out in the garden until almost 9 pm last night. When Jeff and I realized what time it was we were shocked. We were really on a roll.

I am thankful for my kids and the responsibility we as parents have to teach them how to work. Afterward Jeff had us put all of our hands in a circle so the kids could see how many hands we have when we all work together.

As a bonus they were picking and eating the strawberries and the sugar snap peas as they worked. Oh, and finding slugs and feeding them to the chickens.

I love summer!!!
