Outdoor Fun Time

So yesterday we took the boys outside to play a little bit. They love being outside, and its just gotten to the point where its pretty consitently warm oustide in the afternoon. We thought we would take out their little tricycles and sidewalk chalk for some fun. While we were outside, Tiffany wanted to get some of the gardening done while they played. Although the boys did enjoy running around and playing, when they saw she was playing around in the garden, they wanted to help. They raked and pulled weeds, threw some rocks around, and just got in the middle of everything. It was very cute. They really love being outside, and its even better now that they have a fear of loud and fast cars (a motorcycle drove by the stoplight near the house and they both ran to Tiffany and I for consolation.) Here are some pictures of our playtime/work:

While Tiffany was weeding, Owen and Tyson thought she needed help.
Here is Owen, hard at work.

Tyson is such a good helper.

Owen picked up the sidewalk chalk and would yell into it like it was a microphone. Tyson would cheer after each "song". It was very cute.

This is the final product of our work. It turned out pretty well.
Here is Tiffanys lilac bush, she planted it last year when it was just a one leaf twig. We are hoping we can keep it alive so we can transplant it when we get our own house.
