Yard Work......

Growing up I always DREADED doing yard work. I would make deals with my mom that if I cleaned the whole house Katee and Colton would do the yard work... Yes, I would rather scrub toilets, do the dishes, sweep, and wash windows rather than pull a few weeds and plant some flowers. I should also mention that I have mowed the lawn one time in my life. Katee stopped me halfway and finished the rest because A- I was to slow and B- I couldn't make a straight line to save my life.

Now here I am 6 years later with a yard of my own and no Katee or Colton to help me.... Thanks goodness for a husband that loves yard work and has been anticipating the day when the lawn was long enough to mow.  CRAZY I know. Even with him loving yard work I still have to pull my weight... And pull my weight I did this weekend. Between moving grass from one side of the yard to the other, smoothing out dirt for the dog run, taking out two trees in the front yard, taking out five roses bushes in the front yard.. ( I hate rose bushes.) And last but not least putting in 80 cement pavers for the dog run and setting up the dog run.... We worked hard and it has paid off! I can even say that I didn't mind the work that much. It was fun to see the finished product. I also love that we can design our yard the way that we want it. :) And my advice to those who don't like yard work... stick to town home living.

Well that was pretty much the sum of our weekend. We also cleaned the house... Whoop we are cool.
Oh wait we also have Cafe Rio last night... That was super yummo!!!! We are now watching amazing race and getting ready for another week. :) I will try and remember to post some pictures of our cute house soon.

  1. I'm totally with you on the yard work! I'm sooooo grateful Mike loves it and that it's relaxing for him. Way to get out there and work! I'm impressed.

    And I'm totally jealous of the Cafe Rio. Completely and totally jealous. *sigh*
