Yard Work

We have a lot of yard work ahead of us this summer. And I mean a LOT! We need to build a new front walk way. We need to completely remove all of the mulch from the back part of our yard that is landscaped, plus the areas around the back of the house and redo it. I hate yard work, so this is a real chore. Worse, Jacie hates the grass. How are we gonna get this done? Well, we tried it the other night with Jacie walking around. It didn’t go over so well. If she stayed by the patio (which also needs to be covered with some sort of deck that I have yet to design), then she ate chipped cement and rocks. If she walked in the grass, she fell over and would lay there like an old lady and whimper until she was rescued by whichever parent was closest. I’ve tried to find her a sandbox that we could throw down, but no luck. Ryan might have to build one of those, too. However, our friends lent us their toddler play set and it rocks! Jacie is a pro at going down the slide, and plays on it pretty well. Only draw back is she loves the swing, and she hasn’t quite learned how to pump her legs yet, so we have to do a lot of pushing. Still, it gets us outdoors where there is a lot of yard work to do. I hate yard work. Did I already tell you that?
She doesn't want to touch the grass, so she hold her arms and legs up to avoid the prickly green stuff.


Here is the wonderful little play set. There is a small ladder on one side for her to climb up and a slide just her size to go down. On the inside there is a steering wheel that she loves to play with, too.
