Another Deck!!

Our neighbors were so impressed with our new deck that they asked Leevi to build one for them too! Their yard was a pitiful pile of dirt...they had given up on trying to grow grass about a year ago! Leevi still got it finished in a weekend even with a golf tournament, a first birthday party and the sporadic rainshowers we had. Again, Hailey helped out by putting the screws in the holes for Leevi, but once she got a line done she'd take them out and put them in her little pink bucket and go to a new line!

We had the fence down that connects our two yards, so Hailey had fun "crossing the river" (that's what she called the small gap between the two decks) and playing with the neighbor girls (ages 7 and 10).

The BEFORE picture!!

The girls sunning themselves...Leila LOVES laying out back on our deck.

You can't tell that is it dark outside in the picture because of the flash on the camera...after our dinner break, it was dark out and Leevi said he needed to get the flashlights...Hailey went running to her room and came back with her Elmo flashlight from our Sesame Street Live concert...so cute!

Hailey made "dinner" for Leevi and I as we were finishing screwing the deck down. Here's a pic of what she made me.

On a side note, still no baby yet! I'm 5 days from my due date!!! Still feeling great...having lots of contractions (not painful though), but something has got to be going on down there! :) I have my next dr. appt on Thursday morning where she'll check to see if I'm dialated at all! :) I keep saying things like, "maybe the baby is waiting on Leevi to get the deck finished" or "maybe it's waiting on me to wash the floors!" Leevi said the baby needs to wait until after the Cowboys play tonight! :) Off to do some cleaning.....
