Filling in the Waterline

Since child labor worked so well last week...

(Actually Emma asked us to watch the older two

while she and Jon attended to some chores and Xanthisa.)

we decided to call the troops to work detail again.

Cirrus found a wonderful umbrella and took a stroll.

Next item was picking currants off the bush,

and then stemming them.

We didn't get much stemming accomplished,

and Crimsel ate almost everyone he stemmed.

While we were doing chores Opa went on a errand

and came back with a mini-ex.

The kids had A-one viewing seats.

Cirrus took some pictures: here I am making sure the water spigot

is going to be okay after removing the board as Opa filled in the hole.

Then Opa gave each one their own ride.

I realize it is a little lengthy, but thought the kids would like to see themselves on the mini-ex.

While Opa took the mini-ex back the kids went on a hunt in the yard and found some apples to pick. When Opa returned we went to get bread at Great Harvest. The kids were given day old Witch's fingers. We fed some birds while we ate our slices of bread and cookies, and then went home.
