One dump truck at a time...

A flu bug has arrived here at our home. So far, it has hit just the older children...it isn't anything too horrible...just high fevers and body aches and it seems to last a couple of days. Saturday mornings, the girls and I tackle the housework while the boys always work with Daddy. Yesterday, our older ones, who are our greatest helpers, were under the weather. Daniel was thinking about what the younger ones could help him do. Our property is very low and floods every time the rains come. We've been bringing in dump truck loads of dirt as we can to raise the ground level. We had a big pile dumped last week, and with lots of ambition, determination, and smiles, the little guys set out to get that pile moved just where Daddy wanted it.
I thought it was cute as they all began scooping dirt into their dump trucks, wagon, and little wheel barrow. An hour or so later, I looked outside and was amazed~ the entire pile was about level! Daniel just told them where to dump it and he stood out there raking their piles into place! Good work guys!! Oh...and girl (Susannah :)...Beka and Abi were sick, so little sister helped her brothers).
