Saturday

Today we decided to have a busy saturday. We started off in the morning at Home Depot. On the first saturday of the month they have a free kids craft. Our kids really love going to these. We haven't been for a few months, but we usually try to go. The kids decided to paint their craft when we got home so I snapped a couple of pics. What a mess.

Reagan decided to paint her face. She thinks she is funny, we didn't.
Then we decided our backyard needed some work. We decided last spring to expand our grass area in our backyard. We also decided that we didn't like the kind of grass we had growing out there, it was really stiff. So we killed it thinking we would replant. Well fast forward to a year later and it still isn't done. So today we sent the kids out to clean up the dogs messes out there (boy did they complain). Then Steve set to work digging up the old sprinkling system. He can't figure out what the people were thinking when they put it in, it is really crazy. Now maybe next weekend we can work on fixing the sprinkling system (which we don't know how to do yet, help us DIY network) and then start a new lawn. We are so excited that we may get to start spending more time outdoors, we hope.
Steve hard at work.
Our fig tree in our backyard. This picture is for Dave and Jill. Dave dragged this back from Texas to Utah for Steve and then we brought it from Utah back to Arizona. Thanks Dave!
