The cousins may be guests but that doesn't mean that they get out of chores around here.
Over the past several days the nieces and nephew have helped to feed the pets, water the garden, harvest beans and weed the garden. Yup, I put them to work!!
It was neat watching them do the things that Sam does all the time. New eyes on the "activities" made them new again for Sam as well, plus I think she had a good time feeling like the big girl that knew what she was doing.
But we had all kinds of other fun as well this weekend!
And water play!
And do you see in the bottom left corner of that picture? I made those water bombs (as well called them!) from the Tutus and Tea Parties blog. The kids loved these and I think they will be a frequent part of our backyard play.
We had a great weekend but everyone is exhausted!
How was your weekend?
I just couldn't resist this picture!
