thursday through saturday of last week were so BEAUTIFUL! we enjoyed walks outside and riding our bikes.
and all this sun got kevin all energized about working in the yard (thank heavens!). so first thing saturday he got the boys in their work boots (snow boots) and put them to work.
the task (it's hard to know where to start): filling the window wells with dirt. they were dug out REALLY low so we needed to fill a foot or so with dirt and next week we hope to fill the next foot with rock and cover them up.
owen and wesley almost seem to disappear in our yard of DIRT!

kevin got a MAJOR work out as he moved dirt via a wheelbarrow from one window to the other. and he usually had a small child as part of the load.
kevin barely making a dent in our MASSIVE dirt pile.
one of the MANY saturdays that will be dedicated to this yard.

Wow! That is a lot of work to haul dirt! I hope the excitement of the yard work last until you are all done!! It will make it a lot easier!! :)
send me some of your dirt! what a fantastic yard you'll have soon =D
Ughhh....that makes me tired just looking at it. Working on a yard takes a lot of effort!
So yard work is my least area of expertise. I have no vision and no green thumb to maintain someone elses vision. What great boys you have to work hard on that dirt pile and spend time together!
Exciting! You guys have a lot of work a head of you but it will be so nice! :) The weather was really nice here too except for yesterday it turned cold again! :( Hopefully it gets nice again for when I come up this weekend! Can't wait to see you guys.
Oh good, now you can join the rest of us and dedicate your weekends to working in your yard!! So much fun. What hard little workers you have!
That's what we were doing on Saturday...and we loved being out in the nice weather. I would do anything to have it spring!
New yards are so much work! But it so rewarding when you are all done. Good luck.
That's a huge dirt pile, looks like it would take forever to shovel all of that away. Good luck with your yard work!!!
Wow. Looks like you got a lot done! Good thing, since who knows when you'll be able to go outside again :)
