here i come daddy

this weekend we bought a bunch of ferns to put around the trees in the front of the house. the grass just does not want to take and daddy is tired of mowing around the trees. so plants it is! i love the look. we went out early Sunday morning when the traffic was low but since we were right there by the road one or the other of us was normally with the girls. Rigby helped dig a LITTLE bit and when the ferns were all in it was time to water. daddy gave Rigby two big buckets for her to fill up. Alder then got a little gallon ice cream container to fill up and help water. i was sitting on my rump in the driveway picking out the weeds of the round-a-bout. Adler would get an inch or so in her bucket then walk as quickly as she could to the front where daddy was to water the new plants. the whole time she would shout out "here i come, daddy." it was the cutest thing. she would say it over and over. then daddy would help her dump what she had not sloshed out on her feet onto the plants and send her back to Rigby to get more water. she was so cute but after a few of these trips i guess the bucket was getting heavy as she was no longer holding it out in front of her as she scurried. now the ice cream pail handle was slung over her shoulder like a pocketbook as she trudged along but still kept up the announcement "here i come, daddy."
