Yard Stuff

We've got a start on our yard. We're hoping that things will be ready so we can lay sod in a few weeks. We had some concrete work done to expand our patio, make a side walk from the patio to the driveway, and added r.v. parking. The boys were so excited to watch the concrete truck. Tanner is obsessed with tractors lately, so he's been in heaven watching them work on our yard (and the new house being built up the road). He'll stare out the window for long periods at a time. Our yard is a muddy mess and I can't wait to have it done! The boys don't mind one bit. We got them all rain boots that are easy to rinse off. They love to play on the big dirt pile. They even made a slide going down in. Ugh--super messy. I actually feel pretty proud of myself for being pretty relaxed and letting them be boys--even if it means getting super dirty. That's what Tide is for anyways. We tried to write our names in the concrete. It didn't turn out as I had envisioned, but we made our mark nonetheless. The weather here has been insane lately. It snowed a bit today and we've had a ton of rain off and on the last few weeks. This has put a real damper on the progress of our yard. Hopefully it will clear up soon.
