Dirt!



So - let's start praying for grass!!

I am not sure if I really knew what the definition of hard work was until I starting attending to the inside and outside of this house. Now, being a mom, I have mastered the art of completing a days worth of work into the duration of a naptime....but this takes it to an entirely different level  And - all of this was done injury free - or relatively injury free.
 

Hope they will come back from the dead



In one weekend, Mike and I have planted the plants around the fountain (with hopes that the near death bushes will come back to life), dug up and replanted pretty much every plant in the front garden, and spread out the giant dirt pile that has taken up residency in the front for a few years now. I can not even believe how much we got accomplished this weekend.

  

I am still impressed! I also wish I got a picture of the GIANT praying mantis that hung out with us on Sunday. This thing was like nothing I have every seen. It was huge - I learned how big the sucker actually was when it flew straight into the side of my head. Ouch. Minor freak out moment.

On the wedding side of things - found my dress (YEAH), we will be rockin' to a DJ, opting for pies and ice cream instead of a wedding cake, and are hoping, praying, begging that the grass will grow because that area is where I want the reception.
