Finished!

Todd and I worked hard yesterday to finish our side yard project while Meadow was at the babysitter. Props to Kari for being such a great sitter and allowing Todd and I some one on one time. It will be nice to be able to get back to our regular date day instead of working on the house. Yesterday, we both worked on shoveling cedar chips and moving the chips from our driveway to the side yard. We also both stained our privacy fence and Todd did a great job on moving some rock and building the little wall between the hot tub and the play area. We are happy to be pretty much done with this project. All that is left to do is to stain the picket fence and find some play equipment. Here are a few pictures of the project.

We also put a gate between the house and the garage just to have more containment. The only open area is on to the deck. We are hoping the gates and fence will put our minds at ease and keep Meadow from getting into too much mischief. She is so fast now that she can walk.

Meadow loves to play outside with the pine needles. She was putting them in this little bucket.

Enjoying the new play area
