Nathan is becoming quite the helper these days.  A couple weekends ago we decided that since we are spending so much time in the backyard we needed to spiff the area up a little.  With Nathan’s help, we put in a grass garden around the patio.

The worst part of the entire process was ripping out the sod.

But Nathan was there to supervise…

provide assistance…

and help clean up.

Now this is the face of a boy who has been working hard (and eating dirt…yuck!).

Nathan and Momma took some time out to relax on the swing set.  (Nathan insisted that I get up there with him!)

Here is the finished product…sort of.  We greatly under-estimated the amount of rock we needed to fill the bed, so we still need 3-4 more bags.  But, you can get the idea.

We think it turned out pretty well and makes the backyard look really nice.  We still have more projects planned, so stay tuned for more pictures throughout the summer.
