Despite the air contidioning problems, we got out this morning and got some good work done on the front yard. We got mulch out on the trees and the area around the bushes and got the bushes fairly well weeded. It still needs more work next weeked, we didnt’ buy enough mulch, but things are looking a lot better. Xander and Mira had a great time helping. Xander must have spent 15 minutes just digging around in the dirt doing his own work getting grass up out of the area around the bushes.
Today was the last day of his spring break also. He’s been out of school for two weeks now between his sickness and spring break. He seems ready to get back to school and see his friends and do some work. One of the things that his school has taught him is the value of working. He really enjoyed helping with the yard work, partialy because it was work. He even commented on how important doing work is while we were doing it.
Mira also had a good time, but the actual work didn’t hold her interest as long. She ended up playing with bubbles and sidewalk chalk more.
We’re looking forward to a good spring and summer with them.
