The Christensen children responded very well to a 25 page power point presentation about the value of work. This summer the blog will be our version of "Chronicles of Backyardia". The kids are working 1-2 hours a day to try to "subdue" the little piece of earth that is ours. These kids rock. We began with redneck lawn rolling, filling up water barrels and pushing and riding them all over the "bowl" to level out the ground.
