One fine day

Sunday was a gorgeous day to be outside. Although it started a bit chilly, things warmed up nicely as the day went on. It was a perfect day to be outside. So we were. We even ate lunch out in the front yard! The kids helped with yard work like picking up sticks and grass clippings. They also helped Mommy by testing out her new hammock and putting her new U of M themed flamingos out in front of the house.

Kristi spent the majority of the waking hours in the front flower bed pulling out weeds that looked like a huge forest of tiny pine trees. I found a new way to "fix" the lawn mower with a left over bike chain to keep the cutting deck in place and attempted to engineer the booster pedals from Noah's bike onto Mikayla's so her feet would reach. End result: The front of the house looked spectacular, the lawn was cut evenly, three bangs of yard waste were filled, Noah could pedal faster, and Mikayla's bike has the added look of masking tape on her  pedals which still aren't stable enough for her to use.

Here's a few good pics from that productive, exhausting, and beautiful day. Enjoy!
