work in progress

We have a few work in progress projects going on

around our house right now.

We are trying to get the yard ready to plant sod

soon. We have had lots of BIG rocks brought in,

as well as a bunch of topsoil. We have planted a few trees and bushes.

We have gotten most of the weeds killed around our yard,

which can I just say are awful!!! They are the stickery kind that get

tracked around everywhere!. I can't wait to be rid of them!!!!!!!!!!!

We still have to get some of them cleared out and the ground level

and completely sod ready. But it is nice to have a little green around the

yard and to start to see things take shape.

They have also started building the house next door

to us. I don't know if you can tell from the picture

but it is soo close to our property line. We don't

know what is up with that, but it will be nice not

to have the empty WEED lot next door.

My only complaint is they start hammering away

way too early in the morning, which wakes the whole

house b4 I am ready to roll out of bed!!!

Here is the other project that is taking way

too long to get the final touches on. We are finishing

the bonus room above the garage. The guy doing

it is doing a good job, but is just soo unreliable

and is slow gassing on the last few things needing to be done.

WE are going to paint and carpet it,

once he finishes his work.

It will be really nice to have both of these projects finished, so I can focus on other things like the baby coming and my kids!

I AM very grateful that we have the means to do these things and that Quinn has done soo much to make it all fall into place, in the LITTLE free time he has!
