Ezra the Graduate

Ezra graduated from preschool this afternoon; he'll be off to kindergarten before we know it. All the graduates received superlatives. Ezra's was "Our Hardest Worker!" That fits!










In other news, Eli has his last day in the 1st grade tomorrow. They really should have just called it quits last week since dressing up as a pirate has pretty much been the educational highlight since then.....Ar! Matey!

Worker-man

I imagine you've all gotten the idea that Ezra is passionate about construction and "worker stuff." He adores This Old House. Now that he's gotten so big (he weighs almost as much as Eli!) he is really starting to be a worker. Here he is spreading mulch at home a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend at the farm, he shoveled mulch with a full-size shovel, scooped mud out of the springhouse and also helped clear the springhouse of "coconuts" (aka walnuts). I've got some new plants to put in and judging from the size of the hole he and Eli have made in the front yard, I know who to call to do my digging....
