Backyard Bricks

Another weekend another project.

Before. Removed the old landscaping ties...

Replaced with bricks, straighten out lines. Does not look like that big of a difference in the pictures but looks way better in person.  You can also see my out of control garden here.  Cucumbers, pumpkins and tomatoes have taken over....

 Of course the kids were out 'helping'.  Madelyn favorite new phrase is "I'll hold it".  She wanted to hold the bricks.  We compromised for her 'help' me carry bricks to Chris. I will add this was not necessarily a lot of help.

Will helped move rocks and rake them back into place.  They also played in the pool, ate watermelon and generally just ran around the yard.

Why do we have toys? Kids spend 20 minutes running around with rags on their faces...

I am not sure what they were doing... Must be Chris' kids tonight!

Ended the night with a water fight, Maddie is behind the  slide and swing with the water hose getting Will.

Cheese, someone just about needs another haircut.

Safety first when gardening.
