Saturday Success

Saturday was a successful outdoor work day! Roy had to work in the morning, but in the afternoon we finally rented a rototiller and attacked the back lawn.


By 5:30 we were watering the new seed! Yes, I raked and raked; I couldn't just sit there and watch Roy labouring in the sun! Even if come August he'll be the one watching me labouring...literally! Okay I just decided to be brave and post the before picture of the yard. Did I mention how scary that is? Let just say it was a jungle out there. A twist of toys, tools, and toddlers!
And five hours later...




Once the spinkler hit the deck, it got a little slippery for Caleb's running feet. He slid head first off the deck into the mud.





Today is once again a prenatal checkup. Hopefully there will be some expanation for how tired and racy-heartish I've been feeling (besides overdoing it in the yard). Maybe my iron is low again or something. I'm having another ultrasound in three weeks because of low-lying placenta. Hopefully I don't end up with a C-section. We will see!

  1. You guys are amazing! Are you for hire? Our back yard could use that kind of transformation!!

    Caleb, you look very nice with a bit of brown on your face. Steph, that is a FANTASTIC picture... I laughed out loud.

    Would love to hear about your doctor's report. Maybe I'll try and give you a call.
