Last night after dinner we all got busy getting dirty. We had some yard work that I've been dying to do. I am now feeling 100% after my surgery. In fact, I am feeling way better than the couple of weeks before my surgery. I am so glad that chapter of pain is over!!!!Here is Emily watering our newly planted bush in the backyard.
Our backyard has had a mud issue since we've moved in. We are planning on edging the playground and putting a bunch of mulch all around it to help with the mess. I got a couple of bags to tide us over until Papa will be back to help us plan this out and help us pick up a ton of mulch. We are having to share MawMaw and Papa. They are in NC visiting Allen's sister. She is to be giving birth to her second girl, Lily, any day now.
My kids' favorite thing to do is to dig in dirt. So they were in their glory planting this bush. Well, actually Joseph kept trying to fill the hole back up. Oh well!
After digging holes my lovely hubby hung hooks so that I could have hanging baskets of flowers. What is a covered porch without some flowers. Huh, I didn't get a pic of the finished product. I will have to do that later with the front landscape pics :)
Their second favorite yard chore besides digging would have to be watering. Wow, they were soaked and dirty, but they had a super time. I did too. I have been waiting over a week and a half to get these things done. Amazing that I could wait that long!!!!

Hi Monica,
Just stopping by to say hello! I see you've found a new house & so have we, yay! Now we are on the hunt for some type of playground for the back yard and I happened to see your pic's and thought "That would be perfect!!!" So just wondering where you got yours from? It's just the right size-- I love your house by the way! : )

Hey Deb!!!! Congrats on your new house too :) We got ours at Costco and absolutely LOVE it. It is treated cedar, so low maintenance. Now, it did take way longer than the 3-6 hrs it said it would take to set it up. In fact, it took Chris and his son, Dakota, two days!
Hi Monica,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I hesitate to ask because I don't want to sound rude, but was it really expensive? And you totally don't have to answer if you don't want to-- I just know our budget and don't want to get our hopes up if it is out of our range. Thanks!
~ Deb
