Our backyard was a disaster. I would show you all the "before" picture, but the camera refused to take it, and Adventure Dad threatened to throw me in the pool if I showed you all just how rotten our yard looked yesterday morning.
Here we are, halfway through the process of yard reclaimation.
Yes, I know the lighting is terrible. I am not a professional photographer, so you will have to suffer with my horrible composition.Here is my daffodil bed, just beginning for the season. It will be truly glorious just in time for us to go to Hawaii.
Introducing Adventure Dog!
Playing with Adventure Dog is just too much fun. Here is Kidlet 2 posing with Adventure Dog.
Taking a break to work on the trike: Kidlet 2 will learn how to use the pedals eventually, but it's just not in the cards for now.
Kidlet 3 didn't take breaks. He folded some laundry.
And Beef Burgandy for dinner! Yes, I know I should write that out in French. I don't feel like getting up to check my cookbook to see how to spell it in French. Auntie Jenny can correct me in the comments. Thanks, yo.
Okay, now just promise me that none of you will tell the kidlets that we didn't have a real Adventure this weekend. They're pretty sure that playing outside all day for two whole days in a row, AND playing golf on the green, AND playing on their new playground equipment, AND playing with their doggy, was an Adventure. So please, don't tell them that their parents did all that yardwork and flower planting just to save $125/month on a gardner and $3/lb on wash and fold laundry! (Not that we would do that anyway, duh). The kiddos are pretty sure that our weekend was AWESOME.
Cost: FREE! Find a relative who needs their backyard cleaned and you could get PAID for this adventure!
Location: Anywhere!
Utils of Happiness: We'll skip this for today, haha.
Looks like you had just as much fun as we did! It was hard to beat the beautiful weather and somehow this early in the year mowing the lawn still seems fun!
