When the boys went to their friend’s house on Sunday morning, Stuart and i went to a nursery to choose some plants for our front yard and did some other shopping as well.  After lunch, since we got rained out at the tennis lesson on Sat, we took the boys out to play tennis.  The boys hit well and we had some good exercise.  When we came home, we went straight to work on the strip of planting area together.  Connor and Logan helped us remove the old mulch, then Stuart dug the holes for me.  Shortly after, Logan went to the backyard to play with Cole, and Connor stayed to help.  Connor and I transferred the plants onto the ground.  We worked hard so I rewarded Connor with an ice cream break.  Afterward, I finished planting with Stuart.  We still have to go buy mulch to re-do the entire front yard, but for now, I think the side of the house is already looking better.

   With this productive day, I was exhausted by the end of the day and my body was aching so much that I had a hard time sleeping too.  Hopefully the plants will survive and grow after the hard work we put in.
