A Busy Weekend!

Another busy weekend has passed!!!! We spent almost the whole weekend outside because it was SOO pretty here:)
I started off the weekend with a BIG grocery shopping trip since we were totally out of food around here. It's amazing how much easier it is to get groceries when you don't have two little kiddos in tow. I returned home just in time for Chris to help the neighbors move a swingset from one yard to another. I know he is SO thankful that I volunteered his muscles and time for this big endeavor. Little did he know that the swingset was massive and the job took five men almost all day to complete. I know that our neighbor is so grateful for the muscles needed for this big job! While the men worked, I got together with some of the wives with the kids. Aiden LOVES to play with the neighbor kids and was easily entertained most of the day!!!!! After a long day at work, we walked to downtown where we enjoyed a nice dinner outside right by the train station. It was great because Aiden was entertained the whole time watching the train tracks so we didn't have to worry about any major meltdowns from him. Andrew was content as long as someone held him!
Our big project that we started this weekend was replacing the shrubs in the front yard. We headed to Lowes and the plant nursery on Sunday morning to pick up our supplies. While I put the boys down for naps, Chris dug out the old shrubs. Then, he worked SUPER hard to plant the new shrubs while I tried to help where I could! We decided to call it quits from exhaustion after completing one side of the house. After naptime, Aiden met up with the neighbor boys again in the backyard, Chris cleaned up the old shrubs, and Andrew and I just chilled on the porch while watching all the kids. After grilling out, we had both boys down for an early bed time so we could clean up and collapse into bed!
Someone likes to mow the lawn just like his daddy!
Hello from Aiden!
Getting ready to scoot, scoot, scoot!

The outside is really starting to shape up. Lawn looks better than mine.
