Landscaping Day 4

Some Favorite You Tubes to Share....

This is one of our favorite songs this summer.  It isn't new, but I love this artist.  I often play it (actually the whole album) when I'm working in the kitchen by myself.  There is a quote from the song on our chalkboard that hangs in our kitchen area.  I pulled the video for the song up for the girls this week and they loved it.

And, this second video, we literally just found today.  It is a state capital song, but super cool.  Pull your kids in and have them watch it.  They'll love it.  (just "x" out of the add that pops up- it's annoying)

Offices

We have had a busy week, so this morning we spent at home- with the TV off.

The girls had a while that they either had to help me clean or stay in their rooms.  I'm mean, I know.

So, they chose to stay in their rooms.  You're shocked at their choice, I know.

They decided to create "offices" in their rooms.  Abby has a desk that she has had since she was about 2 or 3 that she used.  They had to get a little more creative for Lily.  They used a corner of her closet.  It's so cute. 

Lily's Office:

Abby's Office:

Jessie, Kit, and Molly's Office:

I would say the enforced time in their rooms was time well spent.

Landscaping Day 2 Sneak Peek

Today's work was more foundational in nature, in that there isn't as much of a transformation, but a lot of prep work for the big stuff.

Here are some "little" sneak peeks...

Blank Canvas

It is very exciting outside my house right now.

Today was "Demo" day for the new landscaping.  The guys arrived about 8:00 this morning and have worked all day, pulling out everything.  They saved the day lilies for anyone who wants them.  Email me or message me on Facebook if you'd like some.   I don't think they'll last long out of the ground.  I have someone who will take anything left after everyone gets what they want, so hurry if you want any.  I'm thinking they should be planted in the next 24 hours or so?  What do you think?

Look!  Truly a blank canvas!  What you can't see is in the middle of the yard are some plants that will be planted tomorrow.  They'll be bringing more.  I can't wait.  More pictures to come!
