Lawn!!!!!

Saturday 18th September.....

I was wondering whether this day would ever come... a day where the kids can go and play in the yard without fear of bindies.... they were really bad in our yard once we had it levelled to put the shed in....since then, we haven't had lawn - well - if we got lawn - it was soon destroyed by one large piece of equipment or another.... but, we're finished doing work in the back yard... and JUST in time for Jade's party (2 weeks away!)

Mom and Dad made a cover for the sandpit - so that it doesn't become the local kitty litter! :)

(and you can see the leftover turf - we decided to use it on the front lawn)

(we aren't sure what we're doing with the front - so we didn't want to turf out there incase we decided to do something else.... we've put up a temporary mesh/fence across the gateway until Bruce and come and install the gate.... but it's all happening!

Blake helping Mom lay the leftover turf.....

Then helping Uncle Frank roll it....

Ta-Dah!!!!

The hose was the next excitement.... and as you can imagine - Blake was drenched by the end of the morning....

Jade was at home, but she played on the trampoline for a lot of the morning, and then went to play on her computer.... she wasn't hands on like Blake! :)
