Yard Work After Winter and Renters and My Silly Boys

With our renters not caring for the yard as well as they should have and me being too tired last fall to get out and weed before the snow came I had a lot to do this spring.
It took me almost 2 weeks of Logan's naps to get this side done.
And luckily Brandon's family came over and ended up helping get this other horrid side all done and weeded. Then after that I laid down some weed proof fabric (which by the way is not completely weed proof, the grass still makes it's way through some how, but it does help a lot!) and then I planted a few flowers (a lot less then I normally do) and covered it all in mulch. It turned out looking great!

During one of my weeding sessions I had the sprinkler going (not where you see it in this pic keep in mind) and I could hear Braxton squealing with delight more than usual I peeked around the house and saw that the water was not where I left it. So I picked myself up off the ground and started walking into the backyard to find this sight.
Braxton had snuck into the house and put on "Logan's" swim suit (which left his bum hanging out) and moved the water to jump on the trampoline. 
In the end he had a crying melt down when I made him go in the house and get into a "luke warm" bath which he said was burning his skin cause he was so numb and then getting dressed. 

This pic was just funny, he actually has pants on. He would bend over and grab his pants at his ankles then pull them up as high as he could then laugh and walk around like this.

Braxton drew our family :)


Cutie Pie!


Meet "Mr. Klutz".
We were cleaning up before bed one night and he was not helping with the toys so I left them for him to do one way or another. Well, he came running in laughing and the next thing I knew he was on the floor screaming in agony. He had tripped over one of the toys that he had still not picked up and punctured a small hole in his forehead on the corner of the couch (so glad it wasn't the metal table). So I cleaned him up and put a bandage on it and then an ice pack wrapped in a towel. He could not for the life of him keep that darn thing on his head. So I came up with this. I had so old control top nylons that I never wore anymore and so I cut the tight control top off of them and wrapped it around his head to keep the ice on. It worked amazingly well.

After the swelling had gone down. I forgot to take a picture before the ice, it was one giant goose egg.

Logan assisting Daddy with his homework by pulling his hair out one by one.
He thought it was hilarious to try and lick my leg and make me squirm.


Matching jammie buddies!
