weekend work

Well we did some more work this last weekend no surprise right. Spring always comes with lots of work and that is the best part about spring clean up. Well we finished that front planter and pulled all the weeds in the front yard, fixed broken sprinklers, moved planters that were full of dirt and flowers and planted more flowers and a new plant in the back. Now we just need to mow the lawn in the front and back. Oh and Jason took me to Kohl's to pick out a mothers day gift with the boys. They picked out such nice gifts that I will treasure for a very long time to come. I hope everyone else had a special mothers day. All this work was done Saturday and Sunday was spent focusing on mothers. Every Sunday we have a small lesson just a spiritual thought to get us ready for another week. The spiritual lesson yesterday was about special mothers throughout history. It just amazes me how much my boys soak in from these lessons. Monday nights we have family home evening and that gives the boys another opportunity to learn and grow. Tonight's lesson is going to be given by Josh. He loves to give small lessons and it helps him learn to talk in front of others which will help him in his life. Have a great week everyone.

 The front planter that nothing grew in being ripped out.

Rocks, some paint, a chair and a couple of planters later.

Oh and we got a new flag to sit next to our porch.

The new plant is a flowering vine plant that should grow like a weed. It should survive many winters to come and will need to be trimmed. We still need to repaint all the window frames but that chore will have to wait for another weekend.
