Yard Work

One of these days Kevin will take a day off work and we'll do something fun! Today he took the day off work to work in the yard. We're getting sod tomorrow (Yippee!) but we had a lot of prep work to do before we can lay it.
After a trip to Sprinkler World, Kevin got started pulling weeds. We had asked to borrow a tiller from a neighbor but they had already loaned it out. But they said we could borrow it after the other neighbors were finished. So we bugged and bugged the other neighbors until they finally let us use it!! They thought they'd be finished by noon today and it ended up being around 3:00. While waiting Kevin continued to pull weeds and only came inside for a few breaks--lunch and a quick nap! (After some time at the gym I came home, made lunch, and then headed out to pull some weeds. I didn't work nearly as hard as Kevin but I wanted to mention that I helped!)
When we got the rototiller Kev immediately got to work...well, kind of. One of the wheels wasn't working so he had to fix that first. But then he got to work! After a good portion was tilled up I got the rake and started smoothing out and getting rid of the large rocks and weeds. We worked for about 3 1/2 hours until Kev had to get ready to go home teaching (what? on a Friday night? I guess you get it done when you can!) and Asher was pulling me inside wanting dinner.

Go Kev, Go!! He rarely wears a hat, but I like it when he does :)

The boys had a great day playing outside and spending most of the time in the dirt. We were all exhausted and dirty so the boys ended their day in the bath and now in bed.

Rylan likes to hook the stroller up to his bike. He calls it his 'trailer'!

Look at that pose :) Isn't he such a handsome little boy?

My shoulders are aching. I'd ask Kev for a massage but I'm sure he's got some sore spots, too. What a day! And the fun continues tomorrow! The sod is being delivered at 11:00--the same time Kev has a soccer game. I suggested he recruit his team to come over afterward to help lay the sod. Great idea, right? Hopefully they win their game so they're all in a happy mood :)
