The kids are helping, can't you tell???

We spent the entire weekend out in the sunshine working on our yard. We have been weeding it for a couple of weeks and this weekend we started putting down beauty bark and did a bunch of weedeating in the back and mowed the lawn. We have such great and helpful kids. They just jumped at the chance to help out in the sunshine.
Mike out in the back getting the wood ready for the campfire and mowing the back 40. He almost mowed over a rabbit. They run through the yard all the time and one was hiding in the trees. Luckily he hoped away before he became fertilizer.

This is one hot picture!!! Nothing like pulling weeds. That is always nice. I swear the horse field next door sends over way to many weeds. It is impossible to keep the side of the house cleared out.

And here we go. Look at all of the help the kids are being. Megan, Olivia, and Gillian are playing on the computer on the back deck. Oh yeah, this is actually them doing homework and studying for finals this week. Nice try girls!!!!!!

Here is Alex hard at work too. It is exhausting to push those little tiny buttons on that Nintendo. He wouldn't want to risk hurting those button fingers by pulling weeds or spreading bark. Crazy thought. :)

The hard workers even had Mike put up the easy up for them because the sun was just so hot that they were to warm.

Crazy kids. Maybe I will start leaving them lists of chores to do when school is out on Wednesday. I wonder how well that will go over!!!!!
