What does DC do when you are doing yard work?

DH and I are doing A LOT of yard work in the coming weeks and I don't know what to do with DS.  Normally we would do it during naps or DH would do most of it while I watched DS in the house, but that is not possible anymore.  I am about to try to find a sitter for this weekend.

we just got a fence.  It's awesome. 

Before that, DS had to be taking a nap (we would take the monitor outside), or one person had to physically take DS to another location (like the grocery store).  He would not play inside with me while daddy was outside cutting branches.

DH takes care of all the yard work while I care for DS and do some inside housework

If it is in the front yard, only one of us does it, or he is asleep.  In the backyard we have a fence, so he's playing while we're working.

She used to sit in her saucer on the front porch while I cut the grass/plant/weed. Most times DH cuts the grass but sometimes when he is OOT I have to. Sometimes my neighbor sits and plays with her outside so I can get more done faster. She is a yard freak and I think if mine looks bad she has OCD about it so she will do anything to help me get it done including doing some of it herself lol.

Unfortunately I only help DH out with yardwork if dd is naping. It sucks but thats all we can do right now. Although our parents have offered to watch her if we really needed a day or weekend for yardwork!

We'd have to call grandma if we had extensive yard work to do.  Even if we had a fence, DS would be happily inside the fence eating grass and dirt and bugs and rocks.

We have a pretty good lawn service, but there is still work that I have to do in the yard. I do it during the week while DS naps.

He plays outside with us, digging in the dirt, playing with tho hose or just doing his own thing.

depending on what needs to be done, we do it during his afternoon nap or MH does it. he mows and does all the weed wacking, I garden. MH just mowes over the leaves and after all the leaves have fallen off we just call our landscaper to do a yard clean up. in the spring they come to trim all the trees.
