it's only the beginning...

of our L O N G list of projects for the summer/fall months. AND this is only the OUTSIDE of our house. Not to mention the fact that it's the "rainy season" and we're already behind schedule. First up: leveling the driveway {actually, I should say "raising"}; then it's LEVELING the front yard {and with that comes the removal of numerous trees/shrubs AND the installation of a vinyl picket fence YEAH!}; and painting the exterior of the house GREEN. It's a lot of work and slow going with a toddler "helping", but the outcome will be worth all the sore muscles, bickering, and dirt that I'm currently fighting to keep OUTSIDE. {more progress pictures to come}
