A Little Project (or 10)

When I got off work Friday, Justin and I headed to Lowe's to get a few things for a little yard project. The thing is, when you get a farmer away from the farm (especially during hay season) you had better take advantage of it. So I had a little list about a mile long of things I'd been wanting to get done. With the help of a few good hired hands and his mama (who graciously volunteered:) we landscaped the yard (which sounds so much easier than it really was), built a swing set, and moved the playhouse to the backyard (which my brother-in-law said moved E away from the danger of cars and closer to snakes...thanks for bringing that up after the fact, ha!).

I'm telling you...this really was a J.O.B.!
They had to dig up two Holly tree stumps in our yard.
This girl helped pick up sticks, pick
plant flowers, and make dirt cakes! :)
Check out those glasses on her shirt!
We couldn't have done it without Maz! She came and spent the
day with us to help take care of the kids! :) (*One of these days
I really am going to purchase a NON-PINK umbrella stroller.:)
Justin's not completely finished with the swing set...
he's going to add some braces to the posts (notice the
tools still in the yard) and hang another swing, but
E & Luke are already enjoying this little project! :)
Maybe next year we'll get some grass and a new driveway! =)
