Mike's and Jenelle's accomplishments

Mike mentioned wanting to put flowers planted in the front. I thought that meant putting flowers in the front. What he actually meant was rototilling the meandering path you see here, digging out the weeds, poisoning the new weeds that grew, putting in our new automatic sprinklers, putting in a plastic boarder between the dirt and the grass, forming the dirt, putting the weed deflecting paper down and brown gravel on top of that. So where are the flowers? Well, he's going to be planting those in the midst of the brown gravel! He started this in February. He's a hard and VERY thorough worker. We've received complements from our surrounding neighbors. I'm proud of him.

Jenelle has learned to write her name! She earned this white board this morning (for saying, "Okay, Mom," 25 times in the last 2 days) and wrote her name without any help from me at all.
