Positioning the tree in the hole.
 

This is the first of the trees Davey and Claire are planning to plant around their property.  Alex and Eli were on hand to help their Daddy and Pop Larson.  Those two wanted to "ride" the tree into the hole where it was going to be planted.  I think NOT!!!! Claire had to go physically pull them off the tree and the truck. Those boys are going to be something else when they grow up.

Several birds would arrive on the balcony railing for breakfast EVERY morning.  They were a little noisy but fun to feed.

There's Nothing Like Cooperation

 

 

 

 

Claire and Davey invited us over for supper last night.  That's something we always enjoy.  I picked up Alex, Eli & Kali from school.  As always, they were hungry so we went to Sonic for a little treat. After an oreo blast, two orders of fries & fruit slushes, we headed towards Claire & Davey's.

Davey & the boys worked on the pumpkin before supper.  As you can see,it was a collaborative effort.  They all but crawled into the thing.  I love watching them get excited about something as simple as craving a pumpkin.  Love those kids.
