Our backyard has been in serious need of some TLC, so Sean leaves out of town for a few weeks and I decide to take it on. What am I thinking? Apparently, I'm not so I have been working on it here and there for the last couple of days.
This is part of the yard before I got started:
My dad helped me pick up the play chips but I shoveled it all myself. My dad offered but he has his own projects at home so I let him get home to his own.
I started by putting down newspaper. I am told it works excellent for weed block. I will let you know if it works.
Lot's more newspaper. Don't tell anyone but I went and got like 40 little nickel ads to help in this process. (They were almost expired!!)
Today I went and got a patio set(it had to be small since our patio is pretty small) and some tiki torches. I hate setting things up but I managed to get the table set up with out calling my dad and then I mowed the lawn. Too much work for one day, that's for sure.
Glad that project is over. I will see what I can work on this week. I would like to refinish my dining room table. Anyone want to help?--lolThe kids got out of school yesterday so Tamme(my neighbor and friend)and I set up in front of our house to give the kids ice cream. This is the 3rd year we have done this and it is fun for the kids to get a treat after a long year!
Connor had a baseball game last night. He did a great job playing outfield and 2nd base. I was hoping that he was going to get a good hit to end the season with a bang and sure enough he got a home run. He was so excited. I was a little excited too. I probably embarrassed him, running up and giving him a big hug!
This morning I had to go on a 10 mile run in preparation for the Rock and Roll half marathon next Saturday. My Friend Vivian offered up her hubby to watch Cierra and Brooke while we went and by the time we got home at about 9:30 this morning they were both ready to go back to bed.(Thanks Kerr Family!)
Cierra's baseball season is coming to end as well and so here is a few shots of her second to last game.
Brooke has plenty of friends to play with while Cierra is playing. 12 of the 14 players on the team all go to church with us so it fun to see all of our friends!
Cierra insisted on these pants instead of her baseball pants and I was not in the mood to argue. She won that battle!
Coach Carver gave her an award and her medal. She was excited since she is collecting medals. Sean is the assistant coach but unfortunately he is still out of town so he had to miss the last 2 games.
