I have many blog posts... I'm a bit behind. I will update soon with vacation pics, expressions of Nicholas month 11 and yard stuff. Until then you can enjoy Nicholas helping put away groceries, or rather remove from fridge. He does take a tumble at the end of the video but all was ok.
Major yard update - lots of photos
I have been so busy and have not been able to blog much except for phone entries. For all those looking for a yard update, here you go. These are various photos from the last 4 days (after the weather cleared).
You made it through all of the photos. Whew!
The progress is as follows:
1. liner laid down in garden box area and inside of the trampoline
2. gravel laid onto liner in garden box area
3. Garden boxes filled with top soil
4. finish grade
5. sprinklers continued
6. sod delivered
6. grass edging and defined flower beds
7. trees and shrubs planting begins
8. transplanted shrubs from yard replanted
9. trampoline assembled and tested by kiddos and lawn guys. It works great!
All those plants in the white trash bags are the perennials I am trying to save. Once everything else has been planted I'll go through the yard and decide where to plant the perennials. I tried to save the day lilies, yarrow and other random plants.

I am published... Sort of.
I was asked to create a digital scrapbooking project for Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio software and then blog about it on the MDS blog. You can see some of the project and read my entry here...
Super Fard Paper Toys
I saw the link to paper artist Marshall Alexander's website on Lori's blog. The boys were immediately intrigued and we have begun to print, cut and fold paper toys. Each of the templates print on a single sheet of paper, and they are FREE! We loved it so much we ordered the Papertoy Monsters book on amazon. The cutting and folding took a while and a bit of patience but what a great activity. Here are the finished creations from Andrew and Benjamin. Benjamin coined the project "fard" fun and hard at the same time. Hilarious!
