As per our usual Saturday routine in the summer, we spent much of the day working in the yard. Chris ditched us for awhile to go mountain biking, but the girls all had their jobs to do and were great about getting them done. Amy was on weed kill duty, Misha weed whacked, and Kristen mowed the lawn. Those bags and the garbage can are full of plant trimmings.
I worked on my garden, turning the compost pile, and cleaning up the plants down at the beach. When Chris got home, he got to work on getting the sprinklers working.
There's a certain sense of satisfaction that comes with working hard and working together. I am grateful that our girls are more often than not willing to help.
