Kathleen went about her weekend engagements and didn't need to worry about leaving the kids alone as they had their grandparents to accompany them.
Eleanor and Elvis were over the moon with excitement as they were greatly indulged by their grandparents, coupled with the fact that they didn't need to get up too early as it was Saturday.
After breakfast, they followed Stacy to the garden with their little hand pruners, gloves and basket where they learnt how to prune and pick vegetables.
It was late summer and most of the plants had finished blossoming, the fruits had also ripened and were ready for harvest.
Elvis was given the noble task of pruning the flowers, while Stacy pruned the herbs and other delicate plants.
Eleanor couldn't be happier, picking the veggies into her small basket.
The vegetable garden was a beautiful splash of colours.
