Mulch It!

 Mother's Day weekend was so fun for me!  Mike had been out of town all week and returned home Friday afternoon in time to quickly mow the lawn and finish just as the huge dump truck to deliver 17 cubic yards of mulch!  We both questioned if I had calculated correctly because it seemed like so much, but it was perfect!  The weather was ideal and all the kids helped shovel and wheel mulch to the backyard.  It was so fun to work together!

 

Mike and I were impressed with how long the boys lasted with this project.  They stuck with it for close to two hours and worked so hard!  They each took turns with the wheel barrow and worked hard with their shovels.  

It helped that my Mother's Day present arrived just before we got started.  I think this is my favorite Mother's Day gift Mike has ever gotten me!  He had a friend of ours Fed Ex two dozen LaMar's donuts!!  La Mar's holds a very special place in my heart!  First, they make incredible donuts!  Second, a good friend of mine brought me LaMar's when I was on bed rest with T&R and after I delivered them.  After that, LaMar's became a special outing for me and the boys.  I would load all my babies in the van, pull up curb side, pick up donuts (they knew me by name!) and hop back in the car with delight!  I have never found better donuts since!  So, we shoveled and munched on donuts all afternoon and into the evening.  Loved it!
