It was about time that we updated the flowers in the front yard. We were hoping our snapdragons would make a comeback. We waited...and waited...while our front yard suffered. Our neighbors were probably ecstatic to see us working outside yesterday. After church, we made a quick stop at lowe's to pick up some calendulas and some poppies to plant around our tree. Cody couldn't resist the urge to pull off a couple of those flowers and smash them in his hands.
Boys are not gentle. This picture was taken just moments before the be-heading of this calendula:
He also wanted to watch and see what daddy was doing playing in the dirt.
Boys are not clean. Cody gets so much dirtier playing outside than lyla does. I have to change his clothes at least twice a day while lyla can go an entire day with one outfit.
Lyla thought it was about time to take a much needed break from observing all of daddy's hard labor to enjoy a snow cone from the ice cream truck. You can tell she wasn't prepared to dig in the dirt herself...just look at that fancy blazer she's wearing. She managed to stay clean, too!
and cody continues to "help" daddy. It was a huge task trying to keep both kids out of the street, out of the dirt, and away from the dangerous yard tools.
Almost done! This photo below does not do justice to Travis. I had to snap this picture before it got dark, but Travis did stay outside to finish the job and clean up. He would never walk away from a project looking like this! However, you get the idea. We finally have a front yard we can be proud of!
