Mulch Weekend!

 One of our favorite weekends in the Spring...mulch weekend!  A whole weekend dedicated to outdoor work...weeding, redoing garden borders, spreading mulch, etc.  Somehow, we have managed to market a weekend of tough manual labor as "super fun".  Right now, the girls are reaping the benefits of being young and having lots of fun playing in the mulch while doing the manual labor part very sporadically.  What they don't realize is that soon, they will be doing the work right along with us!!!

Joe took 4 trips this year to Cambridge Bark and Loam, 3 mulch and 1 topsoil/dirt for the vegetable garden beds, and the girls took turns going with him.  They are so excited to ride in the truck!  Here they are with a truckload of mulch!  The first one (you can tell by how clean their clothes look).

 And now to the dirty part!  Hannah has so much fun playing in the pile.  And it's so fun for us to look back on all of our years of mulching in the blog!  She has always loved it!!  This year, she even did somersaults down the pile.  Very messy.  Needless to say, many baths were taken this weekend!

 And this year, even Emme got in on all of the dirty fun!  Still a bit more dainty than her sister, but she's coming around!
