On Sunday, after Peter and Clifford came home from their camping trip, we went out as a family to do some yard work on the side yard. We spent about four hours working in the hot sun. Peter weedwacked while I mowed. The boys' job was to rake up the excess grass trimmings. I had to constantly remind them this is part of them earning an allowance each week because they spent soooo much time complaining. I was so exhausted around the four hour mark that I told Peter it was time to quit. The sad part is we're not even done!! There is still a small patch of area we need to mow on the side yard, plus we still have to take care of the front and back yard. But the work we have completed has made a huge improvement and looks really good. AND we were able to take the last of the junk pile that was left in the yard when we moved in to the dump! That really made me happy. No more crap lying around!
