On Saturday we finally got enough gumption to have some top soil delivered. We got 4 1/2 yards. My MIL took all three girls for the first time so that I could actually work outside too. It was wonderful! I am still sore, but it feels good. We got most of the front yard leveled out. It was really unlevel. Now it's starting to look better. I can't wait to get the sidewalk blocks down and seed.
Yesterday Trevor went to his cousin's church because his cousin was preaching. The girls and I decided not to go since it's a small church and I would have had to stay in the nursery the whole time anyway. In the afternoon we went swimming with my brother and SIL. It was great! We haven't taken the girls to a big pool for a long time and they loved it. The girls don't know how to keep their mouths closed when they hit the water so it's a stressful and possibly worrisome time for me. I was able, though God's help, to over come my fear during out time there and was able to enjoy myself. Now, I don't mean I've totally over come it, just for that time. Because I know next time I'll be scared again. But, I'll take the little victory I had yesterday. The girls had an amazing time. Samantha had a perm-a-grin the whole time.
That was our weekend. I was exhausted every night. So for this week, we have to finish leveling the top soil, get some sand, or rock and lay the sidewalk, and seed the lawn. Boy I wish my Dad was still here. Trevor was wondering why Dad wasn't here on Saturday when we got the dirt. And then last night he said to me, "Tell you're parents to move here". We were watching the football game and it would have been nice if Dad could have watched with us. Brooklyn keeps asking when Grandma and Grandpa are coming. I think she's looking forward to it. But not as much as I am.
