Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend was very busy for the Scott Family. We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful weather as well as doing lots of yard work. We removed a bush, put up new shutters, cut the grass, and planted 3 new bushes in the front of the house.
Here I am using a small chainsaw type tool to remove this bush. It took about 10 minutes. We removed all of the remaining roots and then put grass seed there. Slowly but surely we are making home improvements. I've become such a domesticated woman.

After the yard work and the many trips to Lowe's, Target, and Costco this weekend, we decided to enjoy the evening on Sunday and had a little picnic in our front yard. Ben grilled some hamburgers. Mason enjoyed hanging out with one of his favorite furry friends, Molli. She was busy eating sticks, chasing her ball all day, and occassionally walking by Mason and giving him a lick or two. We also bought Molli some rocket balloons (she goes nuts over balloons!) and she was chasing them until they deflated.
Here is Mason soaking up the last of the sun that evening while reading his little book. I wish we always had 3 day weekends to enjoy! Back to the grind.
