What a Mess

Oh the joys of living on tiered lots.  About a month ago, BJ came home to water gushing through our retaining wall and mud seeping through.  He cleaned it up and just as our grass was growing again, we woke up to this Sunday morning.

The night before, our neighbors irrigation filter busted resulting in gushing water and mud flooding into our yard again.  And since BJ played softball on Sunday and we had a birthday BBQ for his Aunt that night, we started cleanup last night.  I turned on the sprinkler hoping that Jackson would entertain himself so we could get to work.  Wrong-o!  He was right in the middle of everything stating he wanted to help.  And since we don't have a mini shovel, what's the next best thing?  A kitchen utensil. :)

He actually did provide help scooping up the loose dirt

Like father, like son... everything we did, he mimicked.  When I leaned my shovel up again the bricks, he evened leaned his spoon. :)  At times it was frustrating but at the end of the night we had a good laugh.
