Today was a beautiful day. Just a little breeze and plenty of sunshine. After the snow we received a few days ago, it was a welcome change. So, since it was so nice, I decided to do some yard work. This does not happen very often because, I hate yard work. If my yard was done and nice the way I wanted it, then I might enjoy it a bit more. I pulled weeds in the flower bed in the front of my house that will some day be my herb garden (hopefully sooner than later).
Here are some before, during and after pictures of the work.

I'm not really sure how all these weeds got in here with how cold it has been, but they must really like the snow.

Another view from the front. It looks like I already planted but they are just weeds.

About halfway done. There were some weeds in the bottom portion that were huge! They may have had their own gravitational pull.

Colby was my big helper today. He pulled a bunch of weeds out of the bed and he helped me clean off the porch furniture and the doormat.

Finished product. I love the way it looks right after I get done. The dirt is all dark and looks so nice.

This picture is going to help me figure out what to do with this space. I really want to make it a herb garden but we will see what happens.

Easter 2010

Easter was a lot of fun at our house. We colored eggs while the boys had 5 days off from school. Here are some pictures of the fun times we had.

Can you ever have too many colors to dye eggs with?

This is supposed to be my sunset egg. I don't know if you can see the subtle shading in the colors from yellow on top to orange and then red on the bottom. I just thought it looked cool.

Spy egg hanging out in the yellow egg dye. He was trying to infiltrate our party!

Some of the beautiful eggs we colored. The boys had a ton of fun. We colored almost 3 dozen eggs. They probably could have dyed another couple of dozen but we didn't have any more.

Easter morning! The Easter bunny brought them Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel along with lots of candy, kites, flip flops and books.

Mom and Dad weren't left out of the treats. The Easter Bunny brought us Sherlock Homes and some yummy candy!

There were eggs in very interesting places in the house.

Had to make sure the eggs were hidden really well.

Cohen had a ton of fun finding eggs. Cameron decided he was too grown up to look for eggs so he helped Cohen find some.

Even Dad got in on the action; finding eggs on top of the "plateau".

I really need to post on here more often. I have a bunch of pictures on the camera to put on here also. Hopefully, within the next couple of days, I will get them downloaded and a new post will appear.
