THE WALL!!!

Yep, an entire post about a wall.

We love our house but our backyard wasn't what sold us on our house. Thank goodness for living on a cul-de-sac and having the front yard for the kids to play. One thing we needed to do to improve our backyard was to help the major erosion problem we were having on our large down slope of a back yard. This was a project we put off for about 2 years and finally did it. Thankfully we had the help of some great family members and a bobcat. Most people would tackle this 70 foot wall by a professional contractor but Bob's cousin Mike was the labor expert behind "the wall" and my cousin Jason helped to plan and measure. My job was to feed our workers.

AFTER picture....Bob is so proud and he should be!

Next up (in the spring)....planting ground cover, plants, etc. to fill in the area before the wall and fix our side yard that got destroyed by the bobcat.

Can't forget halloween!!!

A blog is sure hard to keep up when you are keeping up with 2 kids, their different schools and homework, working, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, training for a marathon and starting to get ready for the holidays. I could not forget to share a few halloween pics though. I know, a few weeks late but better late than never.

Halloween was PERFECT (except for it being on a Monday night). We fall in love with our neighborhood more and more every halloween because we love seeing so many people out, socializing and just enjoying the holiday with friends and family.

This year the kids were superhereos together....Super Girl and Wolverine! They had the best time and so did we.

Success!!!!!!
