While over at my parent's house, Mason just LOVES to play outside. He just sits and begs and pleads for anyone to take him outside. Usually he gets his way and my family does whatever he wants because he is so spoiled! Well, this particular afternoon, we all decided to go outside with him and get some fresh air while Mason played in the dirt and looked for bugs and spiders (his absolute favorite thing to do). It eventually turned into weeding the flower bed while we were sitting there. My dad then went and got the big garbage can and all the tools, and we went to work...including Mason! After hauling all the rocks away from under the rain gutter that were there on purpose, he grabbed tools and helped us dig out weeds, rake the dirt, and haul all the weeds to the garbage can (which for us was an easy toss, but for him was a chore to carry them, but he loved it!). He loved finding lady bugs and letting them crawl all over his hand. I was taking the cutest pictures of him just smiling and laughing with the lady bug on him; and then I looked at the pictures and about died. The camera was on the wrong setting, so none of the pictures turned out. By the time I got the camera set right, he was not too interested in the lady bug anymore. I had to pretty much force him to play with it again so I could get a few pics of it. So that was almost devastating for me. I know, I know...I'm way too crazy about pictures. :) When we were all done, he even helped Grandpa haul the big garbage can around to the back of the house. It was a fun afternoon for all of us, but especially for Mason.
