Sydney and Matthew enjoying a ride with daddy
Well the "tackle" that I had planned on doing (the craft room) ended up taking a backseat to many other projects. With a new house it seems that there is more to do than what I can handle in a short amount of time. Thank goodness for my blogger friend Tami in her acceptance of not doing her "tackle it Tuesday". I have to give myself some GRACE when I am not able to get one thing done, but many others are done. (thanks Tami)
With that said here is the retaining wall we tackled this weekend. I didn't realize how many rocks we have here. So instead of hand digging (which we did for half of a day) we decided to rent an excavator. Oh how the kids enjoyed riding it with daddy. While that was being done I decided to put in a fountain in the front yard. But with the weather I haven't been able to totally complete it. So for now I will stay inside and try and "tackle" the craft room this week and hope that the job will get done by next week.

Wow- big projects! We just bought a lot as well- I'm sure I'll have many unfinished projects next year!
Hi Poonie
love mom
Wow! That looks like some serious work back there. You put in that fountain yourself? I'm impressed!
Ahhh--I'm mentioned in your blog--I feel special. You're welcome! I still haven't finished my computer cabinet. All of a sudden (the past few weeks) I can't keep up--but things will level out again soon, I'm sure. Doesn't it feel good to make some kind of progress though?--like your yard!
