It was a good thing the boys ate their eggs for breakfast they needed their energy this morning. It was the school working bee, so the boys and I went down to help out. We ended up doing lots of weeding. For two hours the boys continually, and joyfully I might add, weeded and carried the weed bucket back and forth from the rubbish pile. The boys were so enthusiastic about the whole morning. I couldn't have been more proud of all three of them, not a word of complaint the whole morning.
Ethan discovered feathers and a cicada shell, while Sam played with a bug that had a coat of armour and would curl up into a ball to protect itself.
The school provided cake and icy poles to keep the workers happy. When all was done they had a little ride around the school grounds. It was getting a little hot by this time so we came home, tired, dirty and happy.

You probably haven't noticed this - but your boys are always wearing shoes - congratulations - I think kids in shoes is a major motherhood achievment - still not there myself but I live in hope. It's also really great to hear about/see kids who know how to work - well done.
