We have decided to make a special area for Buster, so he doesn’t poo all over the back lawn.  This is getting important now that Elizabeth is starting to toddle around.  So this Saturday, we started prepping the area for the block wall.  The floor had gravel on it, so we relocated the gravel to the driveway where Cameron parks, so that looks a bit nicer.  We also ripped out some plants that we had been meaning to tear out since we moved in.  Along the sides of the area were some flagstones.  We moved them all to the front of the house.  We plan on making a flagstone path from the street to the front door.  

My mom & dad were in town today also.  We were working hard outside, so mom brought over some lunch and ate it with us while we explained the big plan for the yard.  We then went to Costco with them.  Elizabeth even let grandma hold her without freaking out!  She’s getting to be so big!

Cameron had to work, so he missed out on everything.  Next up for the yard:  we need to square off the area where the block wall will go for buster’s yard.  We need to buy the blocks & mortar and Paul will show off his brick laying skills.  (This should be fun to watch.)  Then we need to prep the area for the flagstones.  It’s all very hard work, but the yard is looking SOOOOO much better than when we first moved in.
