Our Landscaper's Challenge is not to determine what to plant & where to plant it, finding the time to do it, or how to create the best looking yard on the block.
Our Landscaper's Challenge is how to mow the lawn, edge & trim, pull weeds, plant flower beds & pots, water the grass, and fertilize while entertaining a 6 month old, reigning in a mischievous 2 year old, applying generous amounts or sunblock, providing snacks, wiping off dirt, and rescuing worms.
This weekend we took the challenge. We tried hard to avoid running over toy cars, stumbling upon rakes & watering cans strewn about by "helping" hands, all the while attempting to get everything done in less than the ENTIRE weekend.
I think we managed to do it! And I think it all turned out pretty nice! Mark, of course, is our primary landscaper. I am child wrangler and weed picker extraordinaire!
Heath stayed out of the sun most of the day. He is fascinated by his feet! He loves grabbing them and sucking on his toes!
Here he is practicing his standing inside during a break in the yard work.

What a good helper boy!

His hair looks like a little Qtip right now!

Now we are just waiting for everything to grow & bloom! And for our MONSTROUS water bill!
