The first victory in a long war has been won!
Today, the Boy, the Girly Girl, and I were working in the backyard, reclaiming it from the Creepers. The Creepers are the Axis of Yard Evil: Ivy, Himalayan Black Berry Bushes, and Over Zealous Concord Grapes.
Truth be told, the grapes weren't that much of problem as it's still early in the easy, but we mowed down a lot of ivy with the weed-whacker and attacked many black berry canes, cutting them down at the root.
As a reward for the kids, I picked some fresh cherries from the older tree. Watching the Girly Girl dealing with cherry pits for the first time was certainly amusing. :)
Now it's time to read another chapter of Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire, though I don't think the Girly Girl and I will be finishing them all through book 6 in time for Deathly Hallows.
