Anytime we go into the backyard one of the first activities is cleaning up Hooligan's poopoo. Katherine likes to go around the yard pointing it out to us so that we can clean it up. Lovely bonding experience.
Then she sat on her ball while watching daddy clean up some clippings from our tree and vines on the fence.
Now this is quality bonding. Daddy got excited when he heard the trash truck. He took Katherine out to see the robot at work. Daddy and Katherine love to watch robots on YouTube. 
Now this is more what you expect a father and daughter to do. They are looking for lady bugs. Katherine is very interested in nature. She loves to look at the "poly polies", grasshoppers, lady bugs and lizards. We are talking about how we need to get some kind of terrarium to put things in for an evening or a day when we catch them so that we can watch them and learn. Of course being a former science teacher I love this curiosity.
I do also want to point out Katherine's rather unique outfit. I don't think she could have found two items of clothing that matched less if she had tried. She was wearing the cute blue polka dot shirt with denim shorts. But, since she refused to potty before nap she woke up quite wet. She did not want to put on her khaki shorts but insisted on blue. There were no more blue shorts. So, she went to her drawer and pulled out those pants and put them on by herself. Oh, well. We had no where to go and it is pretty funny.

Sophia loves lady bugs too, so maybe the girls can go on a bug collecting expedition this weekend!
Your post reminded me of a conversation Will and I just had. Sophia never takes 2 naps when I watch her, but almost always takes 2 naps on her Daddy days. I joke that she'd rather sleep than help Daddy pull weeds and pick up dog poop!
Monday is a very special day here because that's when the trash gets picked up. Silas and Micah both stand at the window with their mouths agape at the wonders of WM.
