WOW!!! I never thought I'd be glad to see a weekend come to an end... but a couple more days like the past few would wear me out!!! We were able to get a lot done in the backyard (despite the constant 20-30 mph winds!!!). Here is a peek at what the "herb garden" corner looked like before... (sorry about the finger blurr on top.)
As you can see, nothing very special about that, although just LOOK at ALL that beautiful "hand sown" green grass!! LOL!!
Here's a picture of the "progess" we made on Saturday!
YEAH!!! Not a huge change, but I'm excited!!! If you only knew how many hours we spent playing with those flagstone rocks like a rubix cube trying to find the right configuration to make what we had work without having to go back for more stone for a THIRD time! LOL! And let me tell you... those little boogers are NOT light!!! Good thing I'm a "muscle mamma"! LOL! The black stripping in the "herb garden" will be the border and then once they deliver the dirt on Tuesday I'll be good to go to start planting my little heart out! I'm thinking of even adding a few blueberry shrubs to the garden to try something new... who knows... with all this room, the possibilities are endless!!!!
"We" (I really mean Jarred, but I did contribute as "tool holder" ,"snack provider" and cheif "supervisor" --- all critical roles as I'm sure you were well aware!) also finished framing the vegetable garden today! It ended up being a bit smaller (12' x 12') but I'm sure it will be more than enough! Afterall, we're not exactly trying to run a farmer's market! We did visit with our backyard "neighbors" yesterday... turns out they were starting their garden as well. Looks like we have ourselves some friendly competition going on! Ha!
We did find some time to relax a little this weekend. Another BIG change was that Madeline decided she was ready to get her hair cut! Here she is before and after! I must say I choked back a few tears even though this was not her first haircut! It was considerably shorter than I had anticipated and to me it just makes her look so grown up! Oooh... where does the time go???
BEFORE
AFTER
Madeline had a sleepover last night, so Colby & Chloe really got to spend some quality time together!
Here is Colby reading a bedtime story to Chloe! So sweet!
And here they are playing Wii together! Colby taught Chloe how to "drive" on MarioKart I can't believe she can play already and she's only 3!!
Well, I'm off to try and remove this "natural exofoliant" from the past 2 days of being dirt blasted!
Have a blessed week!
