july "long" weekend


i know it wasnt a long weekend for everyone, but derek did stay home for 4 days! yay! he worked at home on the saturday so we went out to the zoo with our friends (photos here).

so i bought this slip n' slide type thing and thought it would be fun to set it up on our hill (i'm sure this is against manufacturers suggestion and it is strictly meant for kids not adults...). anyway, we wont have the hill much longer as we plan to get our yard levelled. the kids did not like the spraying water on the one side so derek had to go down with them.

here's my very mini garden. the peas are up top, carrots along the bottom with yellow squash to the right.

here is our lumber yard. derek worked to stack and sweep all the good lumber and finally go that done this day! however, there is still quite alot of debris that needs to be sawed up and given away for firewood...any takers???

the yard still in progress. those 4x4 beams over there are going to be used for the front yard's retaining wall which should be constructed first, then a fence put up before the backyard gets attacked. (deck torn down, hill levelled, deck rebuilt, hot tub put in place and a shed built).

here's me on the slide...yikes, big momma. but it was sooo hot in the sun!

cuddling kids. they really do enjoy being together :)
