thursday was bulldoze-city. benji dozed for roughly 7 hours when he finally decided to call in some heavy hitters, or rather, one heavy hitter. he made a call to one of his buddies to come and assist him in the final finishing touches. i am so proud of him for actually asking for help! guys: you all hear that it's ok to stop and ask for directions, but it's also ok to ask for help in other areas! us girls promise! so ben's friend steve came over and managed to doze for maybe an hour. poor ben. should have called him earlier!
dada and the cute friend.
friday was like no other friday, not the typical breeze-into-the-weekend, no sir. benji started the day at 6:30 am, coffee down the hatch, waiting at the pit at 8 am sharp. one load would take about a half hour, so two loads an hour, and he finished up at 5:30. my man can get it done! 14 loads of topsoil for our front yard. steve came back over around noon and by that point there were 7 loads waiting for him to smooth all out. the front area looks amazing. also, a
huge thanks owed to my sweet uncle bob and cousin callie's boyfriend mikey for helping with the additional raking and finishing touches. steve took off around 3 and that left benji to finish up around the island. actually, he is out front as i type. the good news besides all the other greatness of today, is that this will be done tonight so we can actually play this weekend! it's practically unheard of that we would do anything other than house shtuff when there is time off!
here's how the front is shaping up
cute.
and here's the island
