A little hard work...


Who says a little hard work never hurt anyone? Mom, that's who!


Our back yard was really just a big dirt and weed fest when we first moved into our home (we have grass now). Sadly, my boys really don't know the value of hard work. Sure, I have them do chores IN the house but in Okinawa we lived in a nice apartment on the ocean that didn't require work.

But, moving into our new home their have been LOTS of "fun" opportunities for work.


Sure, they were excited to use the rake...


and the shovel the FIRST time...
But, it didn't take long for the novelty of "hard work" to wear off. *wink*

Oh, those poor boys -what are you DOING to them? LOL! I'm glad you can help them with this experience - they probably miss Okinawa more and more everyday! ;)

Your grass looks great now! They must have done a very good job back there getting ready for it.
