Busy, Busy, Busy

We have been busy little bees around the Parker household lately.

I have been in an extreme nesting mode lately. We have even gone so far as to have the air ducts in the house cleaned out - I am yearning for order and cleanliness!

In addition to all of my own work preparing the inside of the house (cleaning and organizing kids's closets and dresser drawers, ensuring stockpiles of basic supplies, completing the nursery and all last minute baby items, desperately trying to keep the house spic and span in case of an emergency baby delivery, etc), Mike had his own "Honey-Do" list of items for the outside of the house.

We were in desperate need of re-mulching all of the beds in the front and back yards, as well as the kids' play area - we literally had not done it since Ella and Aidan's first birthday!

Thankfully, my photography money managed to cover the cost of such needed items, so we were able to cross a few things off of Mike's list!

Mulch for the beds - that is over 96 bags of mulch....and we wound up having to go back for another 20 to complete the job:



Tumblesafe mulch for the play area - that's three yards of mulch, and it wound up not being enough!




Yardwork is made much easier (ha!) with little helpers! And to think that we still have to complete the yard with pine needles!
