Today was a very productive day. At 10 am we went out to work on the fence and yard. Marisa helped Ed with the fence, Jessica watched the boys and I mowed and edged the yard. It's a large yard, BTW. :) I cleaned the street at the curb, something the HOA said we must do to keep the streets nice and clean. After all that I decided to offer my help to Ed on the fence. He told me if I would cut the pieces for him things would go faster so that's what I did. I can officially say I helped replace the fence now. I cut most of the slats for the back fence. Things really did move along quickly with both of us working on it. I am hoping we can have it done this week sometime. Here are a few pics.
You can see in the first picture that we still have some old fence to replace but we are 2/3 of the way there now! I put an ad on craigslist for the old fence sections and someone came and got what we had down today and will be back to get the rest when we get them down.

Jessica and the boys tried to make a pyramid today. It was pretty funny. :)

Things I plan to work on soon: paint the kids bathroom blue (tired of the same color throughout the house now), make tables for the family room and one for the living room (yes, I am going to make tables), Ed and I are going to make a bed frame for our bed (farmhouse bed very similar to the one at PB that costs 10 times what we will pay to make it) and if we have time I want to start building our new dining room furniture. Yes, we are building furniture now. It is so hard to find good quality that does not cost an arm and a leg. We are doing farmhouse style in the dining room as well. I can't wait!!!
