Mulch

Owen was real excited to get outside on Saturday morning and help spread the mulch.
He was so independent that we could take a load to the back and not worry about him chasing a ball down the driveway into the road.

And, he was a big help.

No ball down the driveway, but he did decide it would be a good idea to carry his lawn chair up to the top of the pile.

This is what happens when you say, "Do NOT put that chair back on top of the mulch pile.":

You have got to be kidding me. That is Trouble (with a capital T).
