Yard Work

This past week, we had a lot going on around our house!  It started with the road safety crew stopping by to put up caution barrels and construction signs...

 

On Tuesday, after dropping Dallas off at preschool, I came home to find this backhoe already at work!

You may remember that there is an auto mechanic shop being built on the lot beside our house.  They offered to level out the ditch that runs in front of our house to make a cleaner appearance for the entrance to their shop.  We loved the idea because the ditch was a bear to mow in the summertime.  We had talked about how nice it would be to level it off, so when our "neighbors" offered to do it - needless to say, we did not refuse!

 Dallas loved watching the backhoe work once he got home from preschool

Reba loved watching the bobcat work

It was such a nice day, that we had lunch outside (plus, the kiddos could still see the workers)

On Wednesday,  we had a cement truck pour some concrete (I'm not sure what for exactly, but it was fun for the kiddos to watch)

Here's the final product of their week of work!  They still need to come back and finish smoothing/leveling the dirt so they can seed it.

Until next time...
