April 30

Saturday Matt and I spent naptime working in the yard.  The backyard is just awful looking and with all the rain we've been getting it just looks bad.  The ignorant men that have been working in our yard, combined a few of our "piles".  We had it sorted out- wood, bark/mulch, small rocks, big rocks, branches, landscaping stones.  Well they combined the bark/mulch pile, with the branch pile and then proceeded to dump it on top of a wood pile, all the while when they were scooping up these piles, getting mud mixed in.  So we were shoveling these mess on Saturday.  Lots of big worms were found.  This project is a big one, so we kind of gave up after working on it for a while and moved on to splitting wood from the wood pile in the middle of our yard and moving it to the wood pile along the fence.  One of my brothers was nice enough to come over and help, since I'm not really in the position to be moving heavy things (although I tend to do it anyways).
 Once the kids woke up, they played really well and stayed out of the way of flying wood.  Lucy ended up in her swing for quite a while and never complained. 
 Ally played with the neighbor kids and exhausted herself.

I need to get outside and do some yard work here. My kids naps don't seem to sync up much of the time. Also, Gideon likes to escape the backyard when we're not looking. Crazy child. Your kids are getting so big. Can't wait to see how the yard works out.

Wow! Your back yard looks so different since they first started working back there!

Hope YOU are doing well! I love to see the posts on the kids, but how are you feeling?

What are your plans for May?

Love,
Linds.
