In the last couple weeks we built a dog run. This was a really long time coming and I'm SO glad we finally decided to spend the money and the time to do it. No more dogs digging, pooping, and barking in every corner if the yard - and chewing up any water toys etc that we forget to put away - which should lower Sean's blood pressure considerably. ;) We had the help of Jon, Mary, Mandy, KK, and Camden one weekend for this project, which was much appreciated. Then we were just waiting for the gate to be delivered since the one online cost lots less than the one in Home Depot... and now it's complete and when the dogs are outside, that is their home. They are not super impressed at not having the entire yard at their disposal anymore, but I am giving them treats everyday when I put them in there and also bought them some new chew toys. Aside from them not trashing the yard, it's nice to be able to play in the backyard with Ari without having to move them in and out of the house since he is a bit scared of them and they want to lick his face.
Also back yard related, we drained the pond - er, pool - and Sean mended those persistent rusty spots, acid washed it and repainted it. I should have taken a before picture of the swamp water but I didn't think about it. Now the paint is dry and we are filling it back up, and it should be ready to go in the next few days - in plenty of time for everyone to swim in at the end of the month when Sean's sisters will be in town. :)
Next project: sealing/finishing Ari's platform bed and setting it up in his room, while also dismantling the crib for Renee and Cory to take back to Flagstaff with them at the end of the month!
