Laboring under the sun...

We had a few beautiful days last week, so we spent a lot of time out in the yard. It seemed like a very Spring-like thing to do. We got a little landscaping done. We went to Home Depot, planted a few flowers, worked on tearing up a tree stump, burned some dead grass, mowed some dead grass, hedged some dead grass, watered some dead grass, trimmed a tree, trimmed some bushes, went back to Home Depot, planted a few more flowers, did some stone work under the window to plant a few more flowers, went back to Home Depot again, and then planted a few more flowers. A few of the neighbors came out to check it all out. They seemed impressed. Overall, it turned out pretty good. But while we were all laboring under the heat of the sun, the boys were enjoying the warm weather.

Paul and Adam kicked back in the shade of a tree... no sweat or hard work for these two.

Oh to be two weeks old... if only we all had it this easy...

Paul got himself a swimming pool for the back yard, but he figured he'd better test the water in case it was a little cold.

Yep, the water was a little cold.

After all the flower planting, Adam and his grandmother opted to kick back in the lawn chair.

Almost opening his eyes for a moment, but that sun is still a little bright.

Still more yard work to be done, but it's unlikely that it will ever really end. But for now, it's already come long way, so they're making progress.
