What to do when there's nothing to do....

We had absolutely nothing scheduled to do this weekend.

That NEVER happens.

We were thinking about going garage saleing on Saturday or perhaps to a pumpkin patch but Grady woke up with a fever in the morning.

So instead, we (I use that term loosely) stuck around and did some projects around the house.

Project #1:
Clearing out our vegetable garden.
It served us well and we are really excited to do it again next spring. We may even attempt a few winter vegetables but we'll see....
(Our final harvest)
(Grady helping)
(Our one and only watermelon)

Project #2:
Digging out a hole in our hill to put our hot tub.
This required ordering a dumpster to put the dirt, hiring Wand (Juan) from the Home Depot parking lot to do some serious manual labor and of course, lots of playing in the dumpster. The kids spent a good part of the afternoon standing on Emma's bed and yelling out the window at Wand. Poor guy!


There's still a ton more digging to do and then pouring a concrete slab and retaining wall but for now, there's a really cool hole in the middle of our hill. Maybe one of these days we'll actually be able to use the hot tub again!


ps. does anyone happen to have a set of 5' exterior french door (in frame) lying around that they're looking to get rid of? That's the next project on our list.... doors from the master bedroom out to the hot tub.
