whee dirt!

perfect timing. yesterday. 1:30 pm. nap time. BANG! BANG! BANG! goes the back of the dump truck lid, as is slammed shut and waking my "no nap today nate" up...chris was able to talk the developers of the houses that are being build down the road to "deposit the dirt that they don't need" in our back yard. for free. snap, snap to chris! you saved us over a grand baby! (which i will spend next week for sure) haha

nate was totally taken with the whole process. he pulled up a chair and gave me a running commentary of everything they did

"look mommy, dirt!"
"dirt in big truck"
"bang! mommy bang!"
"that truck brings more dirt"

good times, good times
then super cool and super fun daddy came home and took nate to where the action was going on

wheee free dirt!

we even got 3 loads delivered to the front!

we had to redo the front lawn anyways. once the sidewalk was put in last year, it caused a good 2 feet difference from the sidewalk to the grass. we had budgeted for approxy 3 loads to the front plus the back. chris was able to save us some good $! thanks chris!

i have no clue what to do with the back yard. i know i want sections e.g

play area with a sand box

sitting area with (dreaming) a swing

a fire pit

something for ben, flowers, a tree, something

a veggie garden

and lots of flowers and trees!

for the front i would love to have flower beds, a mini flower garden in the front, a crying tree (i think they are called willow trees) and my biggest, dreamiest, would love to have, please make it happen chris!.....swiss flower boxes in front of all the windows with REAL flowers...that i can change every year...bec i change every year...haha

enough dreaming. back to reality. laundry and what not!
