Today I had the day off of work and Branden and I decided we had to clean up the front yard. We actually got a notice from our HOA because one of the plants was too high. We were kind of in limbo with what we wanted to do with the front so this was the perfect time to get things started. 

The previous owners had kept everything up so nicely and there was a lot of trees and plants but having three little ones meant less time to spend on the lawn. We knew we needed to do something to make it more manageable for us. We got the kids ready in some scrubby clothes and we all headed outside to work on the front. The kids mostly play with sidewalk chalk but they got really excited when we let them put gloves on and help.
