Anyone know what movie the name of this post was inspired by?
Anyway, I have some more pictures of the progress on the backyard! Here ya go!
Just after the rocks were delivered on Friday, as I mentioned in the previous post, the guy with the 10 tons of sand shows up. There is so much construction in my neighborhood that the dumptruck had to back up the street (above left) just to get to the house! Chloe loved watching it dump!
So now we have a huge pile of sand to keep all of the rocks in the driveway company!
We asked a few members of my family to come and help on Saturday and ended up with so much help, we didn't know what to do with everyone! Thanks to all of those that came and helped!
The process was slow and full of hauling dirt, sand, and heavy stones. But Jeff loved using his new tools and making sure everything was well tamped and leveled!
Chloe's favorite part was using the tamp too! Silly kids!
I had to document my first physical labor in the backyard. Up until now, I only supervised!
And thanks to Lucy and Chloe, that landscape fabric is NOT going anywhere! Such sweeties!
Once again, I don't have a recent picture of what was accomplished. Just know there is still A LOT to do! But it's coming along!
P.S. I'm an aunt again!

Love that movie! The Emperor's New Groove baby! Woo! I win!
ReplyDeleteThanks for working in the back yard with me babe!
you look gorgeous in that last picture ka!! what's the timeline on this project? I want to plan a time to come have a good visit with you guys, but I might as well wait until there's a backyard to see :) LOVE YA!
ReplyDeleteOh Liz, you are the best! We would love to have you over anytime, but we are hoping to have the whole backyard done in time for a Labor Day BBQ! It takes a while when you can only work on it one day a week and when you are just pretending to know what you are doing! It's really fun though! We are hoping to put grass in just after the 4th of July! Come up whenever works best for you!
DeleteDang! I was hoping to be the first comment about your title. Oh well. Anywhosie, I love the updates on your yard. Your girls are such cuties and I feel like I haven't seen you in years (probably because I haven't seen you in years!) Let's fix that, eh?
ReplyDeleteYes Cilla! We need to fix that! Now that you don't have school, I'm sure you feel such freedom! What would you like to do? Lunch, dinner, hang out and what time works for you? I think it would be so fun to catch up because blog stalking only gets ya so far!
