In an attempt to actually enjoy being outside and to help "contain" our wild man Thomas we are putting a fence (YEAH) around our backyard so Thomas (and eventually Ryan) can enjoy running around and playing without Mommy worrying the entire time about cars, front steps, etc.. P.S. Joe thinks the fence is so I can just sit and talk with my friends the entire time the kids play :)
So, prior to the fence install ( tomorrow) we decide to clean up the backyard, remove old trees and level out the area around the shed.
Plus, all the clean up has created tons of excitement for Thomas because...we have had lots of TRUCKS in our yard!
