Boys and Rocks

Is that a bad headline? I don't know!

Last week we had a big load of river stones dumped in our driveway for our ongoing landscape project around the house. We ordered 15 tons because it was cheaper by the 15-ton full! Not that we need that much. Actually, we're not exactly sure how much we'll need, but our guesstimate totaled more if we were to have ordered by the 1-ton full.

Alexander loves to pick out rocks and throw them, so this new pile of toys was just the right birthday present for him. He loves to help by pushing the wheelbarrow. He'll even stop whatever he's playing to help push. Aren't these images of him being the little assistant so adorable?
