So yesterday we also went out after Bob got home and did tons of yard work.

Abby was in her walker, then we put Anabel in fence thingy (it kind a looks like a dog corral or something but it really is for kids) cause we don’t have a fence yet. We put the dog in with Anabel for some company, she loved that. The kids were good for a long time!

We finished up getting all the rocks out and ripping up the tarp paper that was in the pond area. Then i started working on tearing down all the vines on the back fence. Bob started helping me and we got all the vines down from our side of the fence. Bob already talked to the neighbors and they said it was ok for us to go over there and tear down the vines on their side too so they won’t grow back. I never new this until now but vine will destroy your fence… it was crazy how the vines will literally attach themselves to the fence…. so weird!

Anyways we got that done and i wracked all of the debris into the pond whole. We measured the entire yard so now we can correctly figure out how much wood we need for the fence, haw much sod we would need and how much stain we will need for the concrete. Exciting times! We had done a rough estimate of what we would need in wood yesterday and we will need so much that Bob thinks it would be best to get it delivered… i think i agree. Fun times!

Now i believe Bob said the next step is the pound out the one section of the patio we are taking out. After that we rent a skid loader  to rip out the front side steps, the concrete slab in the back of the garage, level the pond, pull out the tree stump… and possibly dig up all the grass so we can then lay sod (that’s if we have enough money… i’m crossing my fingers!)

Well then by the time i laid down to sleep my arms where killing me from about the elbow down to my hands. I tried to keep them laying straight on the bed all night… they just hurt so bad! They are still bothering me but just not as bad.

Then also last night Abby woke me up a couple me times then the last few days. I felt really bad because she didn’t want to go to sleep in the first place, she was wired and acting so happy… but it was late and a challenge getting her down.

Then at about 5am the dog started barking cause she wanted outside. I got up and took her out to come back in to Bob standing there holding Abby, saying she was crying and soaked. So we tag teamed and changed her cloths and diaper and i nursed her back to sleep.

An overall very tiring night on top of already being tire from all the work done. But oh well, it’s exciting to get the work done!
