GRASS!!

We officially have a back lawn. We still have to lay the other side of the driveway, but half of the back is in. We also got the side yard done. I probably shouldn't say "we". Mike did all the work, I just sprayed it down a couple times.

The back lawn. The part that's done anyway. :)

Mike finished laying the sod on Sunday afternoon, Monday morning the neighbor's horse jumped the fence and trampled ALL of the new lawn. Mike was sick. He came in looking for his gun. He was ready to shoot the horse. He then decided that cleaning up dead horse wasn't worth it. He talked to the neighbor and he came over and help Mike fix all the hoof prints in the lawn. They had to pull up the sod and fill in the holes in the dirt under it. It took them about an hour to fix it all. Thank goodness we have good neighbors. He also put the horse in a corral so she wouldn't be able to jump the fence again.

In other news, Kaia now tells us when she's ready to go to bed. She will go in and get her binky and blanket and try to climb into her bed. The first time she did this I brought her out and tried to play with her. She just went right back in her room and tried to climb in the crib. I put her in bed and she was asleep within minutes. She also climbs onto the couch and into the window. It's her favorite place to sit. I don't have any pictures of it yet, but I will get some and post them. She also loves to swing. If we go outside she points and says swing. She likes the big kid swings though so I have to sit on the ground next to her and make sure she doesn't fall off.


Jercie is loving dance and school. She likes to say she can't do stuff. It drives me crazy because I know she can. She is getting really good at reading. I just can't believe she is so dang big!!

Blaze loves preschool. I was told last night that if I don't have his birth certificate by the end of the week he won't be able to go anymore. I ordered it last month and never received it. I resubmitted the form last night and sent an e-mail this morning. I am also waiting for a return call from the district to see if they will let him stay in until it gets here. It would break his heart if he couldn't go anymore. So keep your fingers crossed that he will be able to stay.
