It was a full and busy weekend around here. And we really didn't leave the house! I had a work weekend planned and that's what we did! (We had some fun too!)
We Jared started by pulling out some overgrown, ugly landscaping. I didn't take a before picture, but there were LOTS of weeds and 3 pretty big lilac bushes. We replaced it with 1 lilac bush, 3 variegated grasses and (not pictured) 5 creeping phlox (ground cover). Oh, and lots of mulch! It looks so much cleaner.

| He has too much might! How does one bend and break a completely steel shovel?! |
 |
And the after!! (Except, I planted some ground cover after this photo was taken)
Hopefully these plants will grow in to fill the space well. |
 |
| Atley and I spent some time on the blanket "helping"! |
We also broke out the power washer. That thing is addicting! At the risk of being judged for filthiness...check out these pictures!
 |
| Working on some green junk! And look at the concrete! |
 |
| We did the siding, concrete patio and the deck! |
Sunday, I went to class with Ethan at church. They invited the mothers to visit during the month of May for Mother's Day. This was my first opportunity to go. And it was so fun!

| Selfie with my favorite boy! |
 |
| Moustache man! We learned about Esther, Mordecai and mean Haman (and mean men have mustaches, right??) |
On Monday, we did a little more work and then went to check out a new park in town. It was the perfect way to end our long weekend!

I love my family! And am so thankful for the service men and women- especially my favorite military men, Jim, Dad and Grandpa- who have sacrificed so much for our country and freedom...so we could have this long, work and fun-filled weekend!
