Matt has spring break this week and it has been a treat for all of us. It hasn't been all fun and games though. When we moved into our house almost a year ago, we've had big plans to re-landscape our front yard. Okay...MATT has had big plans. I don't really like yard work ever since Mom made me help with her dreadful holly growing up. I'm also really terrible at keeping green things alive. It's amazing to me that Tobin is thriving when I can't even keep ivy alive! I have volunteered to help Matt pull weeds, rake dead stuff, and pick up rocks. That's the extent of my green thumb.
So far, Matt has dug up our front shrubs and the pine tree that was dangerously close to and beginning to lean towards our roof. You could tell what a threat it was in our previous post about the snowstorm. Here's some pictures of today's tree wreckage: 
Tobin has had a lot of fun helping his daddy in the yard. He received a set of gardening tools and has copied every move that Matt makes. Also, he discovered that rolly pollys aren't a threat and that it's pretty fun to hold them in your hands. He tells me over and over again that it tickles and he loves rolly pollys. Very cute...
Tomorrow we're planting new shrubs, a new tree, and hopefully some flowers if we have time. I'll post some pictures of Matt's beautiful yard as soon as we're done.
