A gardening mother's trick and treat

The sun pulled us out into the garden yesterday even though the chilly wind made me think twice.  That same wind kept the kids from their normal playing between our house and our neighbor's because it made it very cold along with the shade.  So, they were wandering around aimlessly, which always bothers me, when a genius idea came to me:  "Who wants a peanut butter cup?"  They went nuts over the idea.  So, I drew the first letter of each of their names in chalk and told them to collect stones out of the garden and line them up on their letter.  When it was time to go indoors, I would count them and the child with the most stones would win a peanut butter cup.  Yeah!
