The Lenz Boys and Tractors...

A testimony to the influence of toy tractors on the minds of little boys... :o)
Yesterday, Charlie, Benjamin and Samuel helped our neighbor "drag" his field. Farmers drag their fields to help break down the old grain stalks, encouraging the fields to compost and prepare them for planting! It was so fun to see all of them working on tractors at once. Sam, especially, was in raptures! And yes, he is the one who waves at the end. :o) I remember trying to keep him awake in his carseat and failing miserably until one of us older siblings came up with the ingenious idea of saying, "Tatter!" in an awed voice and pointing excitedly out the window. He would eagerly sit up and watch them, fascinated. With this conditioning, is it any wonder he is captivated by them?! Ah, the joys of being the youngest child. :o)
