That is a SMART gift request!!
I always opt for yardwork for Mother's day... the boys do a great job and it saves my back a week of aches and pains afterward.
This year is a bit of a big request, as we've got garden beds to move, and the chicken coop needs to move from its winter location to its summer location.... and since we'll be spending a lot of time at home this year, I would like to transform the yard into a fun place to be, rather than the dump that it is.... so if they can gift me with the initial cleanup, hopefully hubby and I can return the favor with a quick transformation for them
