Yardwork!

Mike and I had quite the aggressive list of things to try to get done this weekend (okay, it was mostly my list for Mike since I'm not supposed to be doing a whole lot right now.) He took the day off on Friday and worked on the yard. The landscaping around the garage was on the list for this summer - so he shoveled 2 yds of dirt, planted 24 new bushes, tilled & planted my garden, planted my flowerbeds, and spread 7 yards of mulch. It looks great! Here's Brooke taking a break. Her "job" was to use the paintbrush that she's holding to wipe off the landscaping bricks after daddy spread the mulch. It kept her busy and it was much more useful help than anything else he needed at the time. (We started with her trying to mulch the flower beds, but most of my flowers were slowly being buried.)

Saturday he cleaned the entire house for me (including dusting!) Sunday he mowed, edged, weed whipped, etc. and cleaned up the garage. Today, we took a break to go to Grandma Denyse's and Grandpa Mark's for a Memorial Day parade - Clayton was excited for the fire trucks and Brooke was all about the candy! Now he's cutting doors to shorten them for the new carpeting and finishing up the odds and ends. Bed rest starts in just 2 weeks - so it'll be great to have it all done. And I bet Mike hasn't slept so well in a long time - I'm so proud of what a hard worker he is.
