We have a weeds...err I mean a lawn

Here is what part of our front lawn is looking like....you can't tell but there are tons of weeds growing up with the grass. I pulled out more than enough yesterday and there are a heap to go. I want to plant some kind of a ground covering in front of the stone wall on either side to not worry about grass or weeds at that point.



The rest of the front lawn was finally finished Sunday. There are no pictures of workers because I was out there working. Julian sat very content for the first hour and then it started to rain (thank goodness) and we went back out to finish after the rain and Julian was napping at that point.


My next project....a flower bed or something with a walkway

Yard work

Taina helping to lay hay
Manny doing the hard stuff Part of the back yard
Yes I did more than just take pictures. I was down there helping and actually called mom to come and watch the boys so Manny and I could get the back yard done before the rain came Thursday night. She came up and decided she'd rather lay hay then deal with bedtime and the boys.

We actually have grass coming up in the front and on the side of the house (I'll get a picture). It's so exciting to see and know that we'll have a lawn this summer. I have never had an interest in gardening or planting flowers, but with the thought of a lawn and putting in a walkway I get excited to plant something. The best thing for me will be ones that require little maintanance being that I am so busy with the 3 kids and work. (Only 15 more days there yippeee)
