Big outside clean up part 2

Well this weekend I have been really busy, I mean I have found muscles I didn't know I had.  I spent pretty much all day outside cleaning up, if you missed it here as the result
Click me

This morning i was outside from 9.30am and came in for lunch that Damian made and then back into it and finished at 4, but its all done BUT one flax bush.

Started with the weed-eating and as i went around i fixed up gardens etc.

BEFORE
Garden off one of my decks


AFTER
weeds gone, swan plant pinned back a bit


BEFORE
This is under our bathroom by our bedroom but off the deck again


AFTER
All cleaned up and Lukas wanted to plant something so in went Zucchini, not sure it will grow there but we will soon find out


Lukas watering his new garden


 BEFORE
This is the bottom of the house, down from the deck near the garage, one of the areas you can see when walking to the front door.  Of course when you are hanging out washing.




AFTER
Of course the lawnmower and black sack isnt there now but yea, you get the idea of how its changed so much.


 Lukas was helping me in the garden and spotted two snails on the rocks and sat there for a while with me, he was watching them while i was pulling weeds, we were talking about their colour, if the shell was hard or soft so he had to touch it to check.  Once he clicked that the snail tucks inside when he touches the shell he did this a few times.  Of course he liked digging in the bark and dirt aswell.





Once i had everything done, and the lawns mowed Damian pulled out the waterslide for the kids, they loved it, werent out there long though as they got a little cold, but had fun on it still.


My backyard looking great.




 Today's lot of bags, 12 of them altogether.

And my garage has been overtaken.  Will have to put a couple out at a time with our actual rubbish.

But im happy that the yard is clear, but what is the bet i will have to do it all again

Lukas does the washing


Well today while doing the washing I had a little 2 year old want to help like everything else he wants to help.

Today was the washing.

First he wanted to hang the washing so gave him his own hanger and the little items, GREAT for hand eye.


Then the washing I brought it Lukas folded and no I didnt unfold it to fold it again, we put them into piles and put them into the draws..






Lukas had a blast and was so excited he got to do it...kept him happy for a good 45mins
