We took a day trip to the Topeka Zoo and met my dear friend from high school, Amy and her two boys. Having boys the same ages makes for instant fun together!
I am so glad we could both find a free moment in our busy schedules to get together and catch up.
There was some work involved in our spring break with the never-ending spring clean up of our yard. And now that it's been a year since we had our 3 ginormous cottonwood trees removed from the backyard, we have been busy prepping this area to be grassed.
Which may sound like an easy task....accept when you dig up and transplant dozens upon dozens of flower bulbs, scoop out all the existing mulch from having the enormous stump ground out, filling said hole, leveling the area and then picking up all left over yard "stuff" that could get in the way of seeding this area to become a lawn. To have an idea of just how massive these expensive cottonwood trees were, the boys are each holding up sections of roots that Chad had to hack out of the of the group with his ax while prepping this area. The one Collin is holding up was easily the size of my leg.
Mitchell and I also dug up dozens upon dozens of flower bulbs in a massive front flower bed to transplant as we overhaul this area to make it smaller, add more grass and hopefully have a more manageable flower bed with less weeds and more actual flowers.
We also had fun seeing a movie in the new dine in movie theater and watching the second round of the NCAA Women's Basketball tournament.
It will be slow, but I am determined to complete it!
