SPRING CLEANING THE YARD

Every spring we have a clean-up-the-yard Family Night. Last night was that night. It was the first nice Monday night we've had all year. My kids groan, but it always ends up being pretty fun.

S has moved back home now and was thrilled to be back and participate in our family work activities again. She did a great job on the rose bed.

Princess P helped me weed and clean out flower beds. She stayed with it the entire time (even though she kept asking how much longer). Here she is resting after her hard work. She decided Kevin the cat was cold and zipped him up in her jacket.

Meanwhile, the boys got all the junk and made a big fire to burn it all (I'm sure we were popular with the neighbors). This is actually after it had burned down a bit. It took a little while until you could get close to it, but then they roasted marshmallows. We even had scriptures and prayer around the fire. It was a fun night and our yard looks LOTS better!
