only in our neighborhood....
over the weekend, the sun was out along with all the weeds! so, on this sunday it was a 'work in the garden' day and that meant weeding. this doesn't always enthuse the kids but they were sharing the load over in the vegetable garden while i was working in the flower beds.
well, when the sun is out so are the neighbor kids and I could hear alex n' ally greeting their buddies in the cul de sac. in addition, i kept hearing alex ask his friends if they would like to help weed. well sure enough a couple buddies joined him- then they would greet the next set of kids who also decided to join the group and all of a sudden we had a posse of kids weeding the garden!
this is a true story!
these kiddos knocked out the weeding in record time. i should've taken a 'before' pick because that dirt was covered- they did a great job! well of course we had to celebrate their efforts -- so craig brought home klondike bars and ice cream sandwiches for the group.
i'm thinking we might be on to something ;)
