Last week I moved a billion wheelbarrow loads of dirt to one of our garden beds and we still had a big hill in the corner of our yard and so once again I had a very convincing argument for another retaining wall. I am happy to say I did a lot of the slave labor myself on this one, although Rus was still the major muscle.
So on Friday we picked up the bricks and that night we put in the wall in the record time of 2 hours, from the first brick to the last.
We are totally awesome. (And we've been watching Bolt, and adding words like "ridonculous" to our vocab)
Here's a pic of the new beauty:
Oh...whoops, I mean here is the pic of the new beauty:
And see all those toys? The kids and I had a wonderful time making a special box to hold all of them. It all started with a very scaled and detailed plan:
...which was implemented using the most talented individuals in the field...(green paint on forehead=mark of genius)...
And now our toys are safely hidden away from sight.
It's like "Where's Waldo?" Can you find the little black army guy (we put it on there for Beau...that's how he looks with his brace on...he's got a great army crawl), or the blue lion, or the ladybug or the bee or Jacob's two J's or the two rockets on the lid?Well..have a great day, get off the computer, and go play outside!

Your posts are so fun to read. I love the toy box!
When I have kids some day I'm hiring you for all crafting needs. :) Hey, so Adam and I are coming out to Albuquerque I think some time soon to check out houses. I will call you when I know when for sure. It may be at the end of May or it may be the middle of June when we get out of school. I'm not sure, but I'll call you!! :)
You guys are awesome! You are so great at making awesome backyards :) We sure were glad to inherit your last one :)
Now there is one of the most original pieces of art I have ever seen!! How awesome that you have such young artists to help you with the painting. Get them started young is what I say...
