Family Life Project

Jadon is working on his Family Life Merit badge and needed to come up with a project that involved the whole family's participation. He (with my encouragement) picked to weed one of our flower beds. This particular flower bed is a nightmare to weed every year. I never get to it when the weeds start sprouting because my allergies won't allow it. Because of this, the weeds are usually pretty tall by the time we get to it.
It was kind of hard to get Jake and Kyson away from the WII to come out and weed, but once we did they were actually really good workers. Their job was to go around and pick up all the weeds once Jadon dug them loose with the shovel. We heard a lot of screams from Kierra every time she saw a bug or a worm. All in all, I think it was a great project! It's so much easier to weed when you get to sit and talk to your family while listening to music (Jadon brought out his Nano and speakers and put them in the tree).

The finished project!
