It was another weekend of landscaping the backyard. After last weekend we decided it was time to make a semi-selfish purchase and get the kids a ride on toy. So we unveiled THE GATOR Saturday afternoon and we need say no more. For the rest of the weekend the kids were occupied, having so much fun, allowing us to continue with our work. A win-win situation, LOVE IT!
Avery was very cautious and good with his sister, making sure she was holding on tight before taking off. He's even teaching her to drive, mashing the gas pedal for her, but she isn't so careful. Avery got "run over" by accident when Ella decided to take to driving all by herself but no blood or broken bones thankfully. She grazed his knee and face when he was bending down outside the gator. Who thought she would be the one we would have to look after for being a little devious!! But all in all we are thrilled and look forward to many sunny weekends to come to play outside.
Brandon and his little brother, Tanner of 14 mos, came over for a long awaited play date at our house on Saturday afternoon. They have become quite the pair at school and even as a parent, the 2+ hrs seemed to fly by. The exhausting part was Ella, who didn't want to share her stroller, and Tanner who seemed to try to break everything he touched. Ah, good times. Later this summer I know it's off to Brandon's to play with his toys.
Mom managed to go shopping on Saturday to order her bridesmaid dress and pick up shoes for Aunt Stepher's wedding. I found another pair I couldn't pass up and when I got them home it was hilarious. All I said to Ella was "want to see mommy's shoes" and she started clapping and jumping up and down. So far she has gotten more wear out of them than me... Not even 2 yet and she has a love for shoes. I can't get over it, sorry.
Here's a sneak peak at the work in progress.
Our newest future addition to the backyard is a 12'x12' concrete patio with a sidewalk continuing from the current patio to this area. It will be great to have an area closer to the play yard at ground level for the kids to play.
We removed the planter bed and laid new sod to the left side of the patio. No more balls running off the patio into the plants, hooray!
Our future pond. This is Wade's project 100%. Everything was going well until he came across some left over rebar mid-dig. Another wonderful discovery of things left behind by our builder.
