Friday September 21

After the kids got off to school this morning, we met up with Dussy boy, Sandra and Doug to do a little shopping before they headed home.
After a little Cabela's and Joann's, we headed to the fire station so they could see it.
Then they were gone.
Dussy boy is in trouble with Elsie bug for not even saying goodbye to her!
I am sure he can make it up to her somehow, right Dussy boy?
*****
Then we just laid around and didn't do much of anything for the rest of the day until the big girls got home.
That is when we decided to start yet another project that was NOT on our to-do list....yet anyway.
We have a mountain of dirt from the swimming pool guy.
That dirt has a heck of a lot of rocks in it.
We really would like to have some kind of trim between the road and the grass to keep the little rocks out of the grass.
So we thought we would give this a try.
We will fill in the rocks with dirt and I kinda think it would look cool to grow moss in the dirt, but I don;t think that is gonna happen.
But it would look cool.
Anyway.....so we spent the evening finding rocks in the dirt and digging up a roadway to place the rocks.
I think it will work good.
Yes, a lot of work.....especially when you see how much roadway we have to line :)
But it is free.
And we like free, even if it means more work.
Elsie bug was the best helper.
She didn't quit.
She would grab one rock after another and put it down, then grab more.
She was awesome!
The big girls fought a lot...of course.
And Port Just hauled around the broken rock puzzles that he found.
He helped gather rocks.....for a little bit.
Anyway....this will be a LONG running project.
Who knows when it will be done.
But, that how we work.....
Bored?
Just start a new project....don't worry about finishing any of the others :)
