Busy Sunday!

Yesterday my parents came up for lunch and some gardening fun.  I had no idea what kind of project we were getting into.  I had only planned on planting a few ferns that my dad brought up from around their house.  Our front door garden needed some help, but I wasn't sure what to do.  After Jared and my dad discussed things, they decided we should dig up all the grass in the corner between our house and garage and make a rock garden.  No more that 2 minutes after this decision, Jared grabbed the shovel and began.  I was so impressed with how quickly he 'destroyed' the grass.  The project isn't done yet, but there will be final photos coming soon.  Here are a few pictures of the process and our Sunday.

She also made a trip to the store for us, thanks Mom!

I forgot to get a before 'destruction' shot, but there was grass where that mound of dirt is.

I'm directing the workers : )

Ethan likes to watch his daddy work hard

Leveling it all out

The final area after our work on Sunday

After the weed barrier and edging stones were set (on Monday).  We are planning on putting rock on the weed barrier with some perennials.  But we aren't sure what to plant yet...any suggestions would be appreciated.
