We decided we needed to start work on some landscaping projects and we "dug" in on Monday, which is Michael's day off.
As with any major project or endeavor in our house, the teapot is not far:
The kids had a blast digging in the ground, discovering bugs, and enjoying the outdoors.
Thanks to a friend who planted these for us last Fall, we have some lovely tulips blooming in the front:
David decided he should try to help:
But we convinced him to stick to something more his size:
The kids thought the trowels made great toys!
And the mulch made a wonderful track for the remote-control cars:
Michael spent hours doing the hard work and the result was a lovely flower bed for the front. We still have the whole length of one side of the house to go! But, we are off to a good start!
