A Girls Night

The 3 boys went to the Twins/White Sox game tonight, so it's just Aleah and I. She's doing one of her favorite things....taking a bath, so I thought I'd sit down and add pictures of our landscaping project. I tried to upload a video showing the "before" picture, but couldn't get it to work. Just imagine the entire dirt area filled with rock. When all is said and done it will probably be half the original size. We're hoping to be done with the wall by the end of the week. We'll see.

These are the only 3 plants we're actually keeping (besides the little tree in the middle)

We're now realizing we probably have too much extra dirt. Anyone need a little dirt? It's really good black dirt!
The start of the wall. It took me the same amount of time to get my one brick level as Trent's 6! Entirely too frustrating for me. I am getting a bit faster. When we went out to work this morning, the dirt was like cow manure consistency mud! And then it rained a ton today. I know we need the rain, but could it hold off now until the end of the week? Hopefully it's dry by morning, because that's how we're spending our day tomorrow.
