We decided to completely revamp and expand the garden. Grams and Grampa came down for the weekend to help. Grams played with Anna while Grampa helped Mommy and Daddy install a split rail fence around the garden and put in the raised cedar beds that Daddy built. It was a lot of work and everyone was pretty worn out, but we got a lot done. We also had some trees taken down that week so Daddy and Grampa rented a log splitter. We now have enough wood to burn for the next 5 years. Take a look at the log pile...crazy!! A special thanks to Grampa for all of his hard work (and for the tomato seedlings!) and for Grams for watching Anna and cooking for all of us. It was a great weekend. The pics are included in the last reel below.
Anna finally got her big girl bed and she is so happy about it. It's a bunk bed with stairs and to top it all off, it has a bedspread with CUPCAKES on it! Anna picked it out. She now wants everything to have cupcakes on it.
The day after Grams and Grampa left, it started raining, and raining, and raining. It flooded so badly here, we had to get bussed in to pick up Anna from daycare one day because the police and national guard had closed all the roads! Luckily we didn't have any damage at the house, though the bridge down the road to our house nearly washed out and the houses next to it have lakes for backyards currently. The first picture below is a couple of confused ducks thinking out back driveway is a pond :-)
