Most people say that they have children to do chores. That's exactly what Kate is using her plethora of spawn for... landscaping. But what she thought was going to be a family project to save money turned into moody chaos. Even bribing them with driving the gator truck didn't get the kids to enjoy manual labor.

The kids didn't really care too much about Kate's plans until she decided to cut down a tree that keeps their "secret hideout" a secret. Once it was down, the damage was done and it was time to replace the old plants with new ones. Because plant nurseries are fun for children. Alexis had a great time, though! To pass the time between professional yard work, they are having a bbq and swim. Unfortunately for the family event it started raining. That won't deter, Kate, however! She is determined to bbq even in the rain... mostly because it took a few dozen loads of the kids marching like ants to get all of the food outside.

To relax from the hectic life of raising 8 kids Kate enjoys a good yoga session. The kids, do, too. It may not be relaxing but at least it's an activity done together.

Now it's back to landscaping. With all the workers it was the kids' opportunity to finally have a lemonade stand (they live too far out to have one otherwise). It was their special way to say "thank you" for all of the hard work so why not make it free? Know what else is free? Child labor. If you pick out your own plants, you plant your own plants, and you like it. Something the teenagers don't like are the garden stones with their names on them. Mostly because Kate put snarky quotes on them and the girls are like, so over it.
