Working In The Yard

We have been trying to get as many things around the house done before our hands are full with a new little someone. Yesterday Gary and Aiden did a little work in the yard. There is a big hill on the front side of the house on the lake side. Gary has been digging some pretty big rocks out of the hill for awhile but decided to bring them all up yesterday.




Until now I have just been placing a few here and there in my perennial beds, but Gary's dad was here a weekend or two ago and started lining the edge of my flower beds with the rock. Looks like he's going to have to come back and work on the huge pile Gary dumped in the yard.






Aiden wanted to help daddy and went and got his wheel barrel from the garage.






Dang, don't you hate when the wheel barrel tips over? Daddy came and straightened him out and he was good to go again...



Aiden's load of rocks...



We also started another project yesterday. We want to put some wood ties around the swingset and put wood chips in so cutting the grass is a bit easier. The plan is also to add a big sand box to the one end. Once we started we noticed we didn't have enough wood ties. Maybe we can convince Papa and PapaMom to come out one weekend and give us a hand with this one...hint hint!
