We crammed so much into this weekend, I am sure we’ll all sleep well tonight.

The whole family worked on cleaning up the yard on Saturday and Sunday.  After this winter, there were about a million sticks, twigs and branches littering the yard.  The boys were absolute gems while we worked to clean them up.

When we weren’t working on that, we were digging up an area to put in a natural pond.  I’ve been reading up on ponds because I have always wanted one and was debating between an ornamental pond with fountain, or a natural pond.  I’ve decided natural is better…and easier.   It’s not complete yet, but it was much easier to dig out than I thought.

Check out this awesome bug we found!

To top it all off, we had a delicious turkey dinner, built a fire outside and made s’mores.  It was about as close to a perfect weekend as I’ve come.

My favorite boys

Have a great week!
