Me, a Shovel, and some Sprite

Wes went to help someone move tonight so this day is just dragging on. I decided that I should get up from the computer and go do something outside before it gets too dark outside. I told the kids that I am going outside to dig in the garden to get the dirt ready to plant. So that they know where I am if they need me. Pretty soon Dayton comes out bare footed with his shovel and says he wants to help. I told he needs to get shoes on so when he jumps on the shovel it doesn't hurt his feet, but he jumped on the shovel and said his feet were tough. Maybe 3 minutes later he said he was going to go get some shoes on and went in the house. A little while later he came out with a cup in his hand and said, "Here mom, I brought out a drink for you, its Sprite." I said, " Oh thank you, I was getting thirsty." And then I took a drink. I said, "Dayton this is the best Sprite I have ever had." And then he said, "Yep, it is from a can." What a thoughtful boy I have!! Life is good with a shovel, dirt, Sprite and Dayton.

HOW SWEEEEEET!!!! I was mowing Mom's lawn last week and Logan didn't offer me any drinks, but he DID stay with me, in the heat, the entire time.

I just love sons. They sure love their mommies! :)
