Winter's back

After we got our fence out and the stump out on Saturday, we spent the rest of the night watching netflix with the boys because we where to exhausted to do anything else. Sunday, we woke up to the surprise of 6 inches of snow covering the piles of fence we didn't have time to take to the dump. What was suppose to be a small storm, turned into a pretty big winter storm. This morning, I went out to uncover the boards. My dad brought his trailer and two of our neighbors came over and we got the rest of the wood up. Of course today is a holiday, so dump is closed. But my dad was nice enough to take the wood in his trailer and said he would dump it tomorrow. All we have to do now is take out three more posts and clear away the snow so the installers can come put in our new vinyl posts. Then a week later they will come and put the rest of the fence up. We are going to do cement about 6 inches wide under the fence, mostly because in the back, our yard is 4-5 inches higher then the neighbors yard, which we found out when we took out the rotted boards that were buried a few inches down. So, we need a small retaining wall. FUN FUN FUN. Our baby is now out of a crib. Sad day, but happy too. We took down the crib Sunday night and Eli slept in a toddler bed for the first time. He did really well. It helped that he didn't take a nap, so he was exhausted. When he laid down with his pillow pet, it took all of 5 minutes to dose off. This morning, he did his usual morning call "MAAA, MAAAAAA" and I had to call "Come to Momma, you can get up" and then he realized that he could just get out and come to me himself, he was very excited about that.
