With almost all the yard changes done, we decided a nice big project that we don’t have time or money for would be a great way to end the summer. So we have decided that Chase needs a safe place to play, meaning a place we can throw him and not worry he is going to wander into the street. So We are going to put up fencing and a gate on the sides of our back yard. We are also going to take down the part of the deck we don’t use and use that area for a sandbox and play area. I don’t plan on finishing it before it gets cold, but I do plan on taking the deck down and finishing the fence before it gets cold. Any ideas of what should go in this new area? Or what kind of ground cover should be there? (there’s gravel there now.. but that’s not kid friendly, and grass isn’t dad friendly)

Yesterday was such a fun Sunday. Well, the time AFTER church was the fun part (just because we had to chase Chase around –haha– for the whole three hours). But anyway. We had a really great day. We got to go to Rachel’s house for dinner (at the new townhouse that TDad and TMom have purchased). She lives really close to us now, which is enjoyable. We hung out with her, her roommates, and Jason for a while there, then we went back to our house and played fun games with our neighbors Jeremiah and Trena while we tried to hook Jason up with Trena’s younger sister, Brittney. (Sorry if that’s confusing.) I think that Jason and Brittney hit it off; we’ll see what they think after they go on a date later this week. We played games for like 3 hours and had brownies a la mode. Pace and Jason are so funny together that everyone almost split a gut! Everyone’s definitions for Beyond Balderdash were also hilarious; you should ask Pace what SCSA stands for, and you should also ask Rachel about the Magical Shoes movie plot that she came up with. It was quite inventive!

Well thanks to the internet we are getting a new tv today. It is supposed to arrive today between 1-3pm. We are pretty excited to finally sit on our couch and watch a movie again. It’s a 50 in plasma, I’ll give a full review after the unboxing today. Hopefully there aren’t any problems from the shipping process. After extensive research I decided on this one b/c of price and feature combination. I found a great price on SuperWarehouse.com. And have been very happy with their process so far. We’ll keep you updated.
