Fencing...and not the sword kind!

There are downfalls to working in a retail establishment but then again there are the good things that you come across from time to time.  We've been talking about putting a fence up...decorative more than anything, but just didn't want to spend the money on one.  But then, when the supplies for a planned project comes across your desk for half off the asking price, it's just the right time to put up a fence!!!

On Friday, out little girl was diagnosed with bronchitis.  Very scary for me since most the time I take her to the doctor it's a cold or something that doesn't sound so scary.  She is doing much better and has been taking it easy this weekend.  

The weekend here was beautiful.  A little cold but still very nice.  Saturday we were still nursing Madison's bronchitis so stayed in with her. Sunday, I was busting at the seams and couldn't stay inside any longer.  Jeff had purchased the fencing on Saturday to keep others from purchasing it and we were going to hold on to it for a bit.  Since the weather prevailed he couldn't help but get started on our next "project".   

Initially Madison was going to sit inside and have quiet time.  But then she decided she needed to "supervise" to make sure that Daddy was digging the holes correctly.

That's pretty deep dad
Here, let me help...
Jeff was only going to dig the holes today.  The process was a lot easier than we thought.  Usually when we dig holes here it takes three to four times longer since we live on a ridge and the ground is FULL of rocks...sometimes boulders!!!  Since he finished and was feeling good, we made a run to HOME DEPOT to get additional supplies.  The supervisor fought the nap before coming outside and started to fade on the way out to the store.  The ride home finally sucked her into dreamland!  The supervisor didn't get to do much supervising once we got home.

Being a supervisor is EXHAUSTING!
When she got up from her nap all she wanted to do was go inside to have mommy time so needless to say what got done during her nap and a just a bit more was all that got done today.  Not too bad for a project that was going to get started weeks down the road.

Before...

After

There's still more to do.  Stay tuned...
