Yesterday we went and planted a tree at a school that needed some new shade trees. This school was about an half an hour away near where we used to live, and it started at 3:30. Bad timing for the Kid who never naps...unless we have a longer than 5 minute drive in the afternoon. Poor thing fell asleep and missed the first half an hour, but I made sure to secure a spot and a tree so he could plant when he woke up. The ground was SO hard, I had to have one of the men there get it started for us.
(Yes, that is me with the Kid. It's the 1st full body picture of me pregnant, and I don't think I look as huge as I feel!)
(And yes, he is kissing the tree.)
So proud of his little Red Oak.
Unfortunately, there is always an injury. In the 1st picture you see that little yellow rope behind the Kid. Well, I had stepped one foot on the other side to get a piece of garbage off the dune and when I stepped back he had moved to the other side of me and I literally kicked him in the head. The shiny stuff is 1st aide cream, because before I realized after that I actually scratched his head he was rubbing it with his dirty gloves. Nice. Right?

Yo go girl! I am entirely too pregnant to be picking up someone else's trash and if I did, I'd be so out of breathe and angry at the whole situation, I'd try and track them down and shove their cigarette butts up their noseholes.
Oh poor baby and his booboo head but on the bright side great job for the tree planting and cleaning up the beach.
You are raising him to respect the earth and to make sure he isn't like the ones that do throw their trash around. Dang makes you wonder what their houses look like, huh??
