Planting a Pine Tree

Since it is Earth week and Jeff had it off. We wanted to plant something. We had a throne bush, Scrappy and I have always hated, because we always got stuck on it. Well, Ryan and Jeff dug that out this week. Then we went to Lowes hardware store on Friday morning and picked out a little pine tree. There were water fountains there too, Ryan HAD to touch every single water fountain. So, I told him if he is going to touch them, he may only put one finger in each, which he did. When we got home from playgroup on Friday that is when the planting started. Ryan and Jeff both dug in the dirt then came the BEST part the WATER! We had to water the pine tree and the grass and our neighbors and Dad and Mama and himself of coarse. As Ryan describes it "I was watering the pine tree and sprayed the hose down in the mud and the mud JUMPED up in my face". When he tells the story he is super smiley and hits himself in the face when he says "the mud jumped up and hit me in the face" These are the pictures of Ryan in the mud. Jeff tells me this is just the beginning, and he used to ALWAYS come home looking like this.
