Super Sweet Saturday

Today was a great Saturday! The weather was awesome, sunny and upper 50's! We had a huge to do list of things to get done in our backyard, but before we started we had to make a quick run to Target. I broke my sunglasses last night and had to replace them before we spent the day outside. We were back home and ready for some serious yard work by 10am. Luke and Emily loved spending the day outside, getting dirty, and making a mess! Mick cut down 2 trees in the back yard, cleaned gutters, spread grass seed & mulch and planted new plants in the back and front. Luke had a great time searching for worms and digging big holes. Emily was so thrilled to be outside exploring, and climbing on her slide. I raked the yard and spread mulch and kept an eye on the kiddos (alot harder to do than it sounds!) Once we got both kids down for nap, we made some serious progress. After nap we cleaned up and went out for ice cream! Then we came home and cooked out on the grill, the kids had hotdogs and Mick and I had awesome steaks. Oh so yummy! Unfortunately after dinner Emily had a blow-out, so into the tub she went and Luke followed right behind. Before we knew it, it was 7pm and the kids were in bed and we were ready to relax! We are both exhausted, but so happy with how the yard looks, I can not wait to see what it will like next week once the tree removal is completed!
