Yard Work

Dustin decided that our front lawn was in need of dethatching so he bought a special blade for the lawn mower and proceeded to tear up the whole front yard. Now it looks like the grass has a buzz cut with Mohawk stripes. Not exactly an improvement! I am told that after a few weeks, some grass seed and fertilizer, rain and sunshine it will look much better. I guess we will see :)

The kids were more than willing to pitch in with the yard work.

Rakes and dead grass- sign me up, Papa!

Betcha can't guess what Dustin was thinking of doing to Colin's exposed back.....

Sometimes hands just work better.

Janessa was determined to help the boys. There was no slower her down.

Ok, time for a break. Put my feet up and smell the pretty flowers.

Lets walk around the rocks.

Piece of cake, Mom

A little more concentration for Janessa to balance.

They were troopers. And for their hard work and dedication to the task they were rewarded with juice boxes and freshly made oatmeal chocolate chips cookies.

Anybody else want to come work in the yard, I have lots more cookies!!
