Ok, so I have had a leak for the past couple months, but haven't gotten around to fixing it. It was ok during the rainy season because the water running down my sidewalk and along the gutter was hidden in with the rain run off. But since it is no longer rain season, and we will not see any rain until November, I could no longer ignore it.
So, Papa brought over the sledge hammer for me and gave me a quick demo on how to use it. Pretty simple: hold hammer, swing hammer over head, bring down the wrath of hammer to concrete. After a few whacks, the cement gives way. I had a company come out and verify for me where the leak was, I knew it was there but I didn't "want" it to be there. You get me? I didn't want to dig up the darn cement. Grrrr.
So anyway, I got the leak patched up, and no water is running down the sidewalk now. I uploaded a few pictures of the process to the
Yard Work album. Enjoy.
We had Mason's 3rd Birthday Party this weekend! He had a great time. He was very excited to be the birthday boy and show us his three fingers.
Mason got a John Deere tractor from Grandma Donna! It is awesome. He loves to ride it all over the yard. Thanks Grandma Donna!
Ever since Mason turned one he has covered his ears when we sing Happy Birthday! He likes it but says we are too loud!
Here is Mason's new swingset! It took Papa, Grandpa Pat and Daddy a day and a half to build it! But it was worth it! Mason thinks it's the bestest and very awesome.
He loves to swing like Superman! And the swing will even hold Mommy up! We are going to have a really fun summer!
