Hard Workers

I found enough of these ladybug craft kits for the kids to put together yesterday.  That's the fun part about going through and clearing out supplies!

"Show me one finger, please!"  This is the one finger they used to dot some ink dots onto their ladybug wings.

We added eyes and a stick.  So sorry about the fuzzy photos!  I need a new camera, badly! 

The apple tree is going through a clean up process.  We are going  to remove all of it's branches in hopes of helping it produce better branches and apples.  We woke yesterday to find that one branch that had been sawed through half way decided to take a dive.  It is still attached to the tree, so it was fun for the kids to play under it.   I know, "Yay.. a.. branch.. to play with.." Seriously!  It was a tunnel! 

The best part was the kids got to take an up close look at some apples and how they 

are attached to the tree.

The branches were wet from a nice morning rain, the kids had a blast just ducking down to go under it.  They were trying NOT to get wet, and boy was it fun if someone bumped it. 

These kids know me so well.  When the apples fall, I pick them up at least once every day. 

 They beat me to it. 

It then became some sort of contest.  They placed the apples into the bucket.  These kids are hard workers!

Certain that he had gathered the most, he celebrated!

Wait.. this guy was also sure he gathered the most!

This one played "duck under the tree" for a long time. :)  It's the little things that keep us occupied. 

I'm ok with that!
