planting flowers

Last weekend we finally got around to making the front of our house look a little prettier. Mikayla loved helping us by playing in the dirt. She was a mess by the time we were done and had dirt everywhere but it was cute and she had fun.

She is helping prepare the pot for the flowers. Notice the dirt on her shoulder, she got a little crazy with the little shovel.

Jennifer got in on the helping for a little bit as well, she did not last as long as Mikayla though. Jennifer had other things to do like ride her bike and play baseball.

"Here you go dad, there is some dirt for the bucket."

Bill filled up a bucket of dirt and Mikayla sat in the yard for about twenty minutes just playing in the dirt, as dirty as it was it was sweet to see her being so content. When the planting was done it was inside for bath.
