Planting Our Mums!

Today I had a great time planting our mums with Annalise.  She liked helping to shovel the dirt.....the only problem was that she not only liked to shovel the dirt from the bag to the pots, but also from the pots back to the bag!  It was really fun to have her helping me though even though it did end up taking almost two hours to plant 6 plants!  I will have to keep this in mind in the spring when we do planting.  I will probably have to leave open a week to get it all done with her "help"!

 "I've got my gloves and shovel and I'm ready!"

 Anna held the gloves the whole time and was very uninterested in putting them on.  It didn't matter though because she didn't touch the dirt with her hands at all.  She made sure that she was only touching it with the shovel.  I was using my hands for a lot of it and Anna kept saying "Oh noooo!  Mommy's hands are diiiiiiirty!" and "Mommy makin' a mess!  We clean it up!"

 When we were almost done she decided to try to put them on.  Go figure!
