The sun brings fun

Wow, what a great weekend. It was such a beautiful weekend and we had some real nice weather out here in Utah. The kids were chomping at the bit to get outside so we decided to spend a few hours on Saturday doing some family gardening. I have been trying to irradicate the tulips in our front planter but it seems that every year a new bunch pop-up so my goal was to seek and destroy. Dexter became the worm hunter and was hunting around finding all different sizes of worms. He finally found one that met his criteria and decided to keep it as a pet. So we got out a jar and put the worm in the jar. Dexter then wanted to give the worm something to play with so he put in a golf wiffle-ball for the worm to crawl through. When his worm was all cozy in his new jar he turned to my wife and said,"I want to see him every day when I wake up." So now his pet worm is waiting for his little wake up call every day. True to his word he got up this morning and went to greet his worm. What a great little boy.
Lucy was looking at all the works that Dexter was digging up and singing to them. The song she made up was real cute and went something like,"you are so cute, you are such a nice worm." It was super cute.
After a few minutes of gardening Dexters friend came screaming by on his bike so Dexter wanted to join him. That turned the focus from gardening to riding. We got out the bikes and away they went.
We also did haircuts this weekend and both Dexter and Lucy got a turn with the clippers on dear old dads mop. They were suprisingly gentle and we all had a good time with it.
