With all the fun of our anniversary being over and done with - it was time to get back to business and get some things sorted.....
Yesterday one of our friends came over and levelled out the yard - from all the flood prevention work from early February... so now we have a flat yard - but no grass - again... (that wont take long to fix up)....
We decided it was time to get the washing line paved (as the pavers had turned up the day before we had to dig out all of the front yard)
I went to Bunnings first thing in the morning to grab a few tools (Rakes - Shovel - etc) - and then it was time to start work... by the time I got back from Bunnings, Mom and Dad had already turned up and pruned all of the greenery coming from the neighbours unkept bushes.... (but it provides a bit of privacy - so who am I to complain)
Starting to Level the ground....
Jade got in to help.... she loves helping....
Blake came to help...
(actually, more like he came to see if there was any way he could possibly get any dirtier!)
Grubby Puggle...
In the Wheelbarrow to tell Uncle Frank where to go.....
(and not in a rude way!)
Bringing a load of crusher dust back to the area....
Starting to lay the pavers down to work out how we'd make them fit....
Tennis Balls make great spacers.... although - Blake did want them back!
Jade obviously thought the men couldn't bring the crusher dust on their own and came along for the ride...
Pavers lined up - now it's time to put down more crusher dust to go between the pavers....
and.... DONE!

Blake in the Wheelbarrow....
I'm so glad this is finally done.. I no longer have to worry about dropping my washing and having it be covered in mud.... also don't have to worry about having to put shoes on and hurting my feet on the various stones.... so yay!!!!
Btw. have I mentioned that my family are THE BEST? We started working at 9:30am - and finished by 2pm :) (with a break for lunch)
