Filling in the Hole





We had a slow leak at our water faucet. It needed repair and we needed to connect the water to the house, soooo it was time. A big hole was dug, and the repair and installation began.

Cirrus and Crimsel wanted to help. They each have a pair of cute little work gloves and between them a set of kid size real tools. Here Crimsel is shoveling sand.

After the wheel barrow was dumped into the hole, Cirrus helped by pushing the spilled sand in.

They worked for a while...

And then decided to climb the hill.

Then we put rocks in the wagon, and pushed and pulled them to the rock pile.

Throwing rocks onto the pile was fun.

Team work was good, too!

Crimsel wanted to pull Cirrus by himself. He pulled her from the rock pile to the front of the house.

Then we ate apples.

And had entertainment by Cirrus

and Crimsel.
The kids worked hard, had fun, and went home tired. A good day, I say!

What? They really can work? J/K! SO, what I really want to know is what kind of entertainment they provided. If it was singing "WOW". If it was singing and dancing "SUPER WOW".

It was mostly singing. I do have a video clip, but it is too dark to see the kids. You can hear them sing though.

WOW Talk about slave labor? Aren't there child labor laws that protect them?? I get the moving rocks and digging, but performing too?? What demanding grandparents you are! HA HA HA!

looks like you all had fun!
