Daddy's little helpers

Bill is always complaining that he takes on too many projects. He informed me earlier this summer that once he was done in the basement, he was going to scale back on his projects. Well, then he decided he wanted to expand the lawn in the front yard AND put in another zone of sprinklers before fall started. This is a pretty physically intense job (I know because I tried pulling up some sod and made hardly any progress). Bill removes a section of weeds/sod, smooths it out, then digs the trench for the sprinkler hose, buries that, and attaches sprinkler heads along the way.

Sam could not have been more thrilled about Bill's decision to put in more sprinklers. Sam has spent hours outside with Bill this week. Most of the time, he is just standing there watching Bill work. And talking endlessly. Sam loves to talk. He gets that from his dad. (Stop laughing. Bill really does talk more than I do!!)

Here are Nolan and Sam watching Bill work. Each of them are holding a sprinkler, waiting for the moment Daddy needs it:
