Yardwork is Hardwork!

The 5th & 6th we built a chicken coop!  We have a little house one but they need more outside area to run and play, so we built them an 11' x 10' x 6' pen.  It took us 32 days and a bunch of trips to Lowe's and I don't even want to think about how much money, but it is done and it looks awesome!  We did a few miscalculations, but it turned out great!  The last thing to do is build a small "hobbit" door on the end for them to come out if we need them to, but it's so much better than the cramped space they were in!
The kids and I have been working to get the yards in shape.  We spent a few hours (4 big people and Chloe x 3 hours = 12 hours of work) last Friday on the back yard and it looks fantastic!  Today we (Me, Joslyn, Chad, and Chloe) weeded, weed whacked, swept, mowed and watered.  The front looks great now too!
I love getting the yards taken care of especially before school, it makes it feel like autumn will be here soon!
