Harvesting Corn, Kid Style

It's nearly harvest time around here. The kids decided to get an early start. They grabbed a wheelbarrow and made their way to the nearest corn field. And the picking commenced.

Oh, no! Was that one of the guys? Do you think they saw us taking the corn?


Shhh. Let's stand here very quietly and maybe they won't notice us.


Always the daredevil, the Little Miss ventures out to drop another ear off into the wheelbarrow.


Abort, abort! Here they come!


When the coast is clear again, they decide to count their losses and haul what they have to the "barn."


Here they begin shelling the corn, putting the grain into the grain cart. By hand. This is a time consuming process that mommy loves.





Because little hands taking the kernels off one by one keeps kids occupied and quiet for a l-o-n-g time.
