Start 'Em Young

I was out with the boys a few weeks ago shoveling snow (don't worry it was hardly any, and it was the light fluffy kind), and our sweet neighbor Shirley came over with two smaller sized shovels for the boys and put them to work. They were in heaven! Since then we've bought two kid shovels, and almost every day waiting for the preschool bus, the boys are out shoveling (whether there is actually snow on the driveway or not). I figure I out to encourage now... while they actually like it when I LET them shovel snow!
