"LABOR" day

I thought Labor day was a day for rest for those who are used to going to work every Monday morning... Well, I was WRONG. Sunday morning I woke up with a small amount of anxiety over our landscaping in the front of our house. We really haven't had the time (or the weather) to tackle this HUGE task yet so we just continued to apologize to our neighbors for our terrible over grown landscaping. I came home last weekend from a girls weekend and Mike had taken the weed eater to our shrubs/weeds/elephant ear farm. This is when I knew it was out of control!

So Sunday was a day of shopping for new stuff, pulling weeds, and planning for a new flower bed. We are tackling one flower bed at a time. We woke up and started early again this morning and finished around 2 pm. All the neighbors came by and loved it. Mike did his specialty... hard scaping. He built and very cool (but very basic) wall. He told me that I am in the right profession-- management-- b/c all I did all day was watch and encourage.

Now that we are all done with about 25% of the total projection... I can't feel my hamstrings b/c they are so tight, Mike is sun burnt, and Lizzie is worn out from being outside for so long (all she usually does it sleep all day).

Saturday was a fun day-- we went to Little Rock for the Razorback Tailgate. We hung out with the Shehorn's. Good food, plenty of alcohol, and lots of laughs.

Also another first this weekend. Mike proved that he was handier (don't know if that's a word) than I thought. He changed a fuel filter in the Envoy. He still smells like gasoline 48 hours later... but the envoy is running a little better! :)

I'll get pics up of the new landscaping...
