Something *has* to be wrong with us!

Finally a stuffed animal that has a chance against the Monster Dog!

We are probably 90% done with the yard re-model/landscaping project! Both K and I are pretty pleased with how everything turned out. We hauled close to 5 yards of top soil in, leveled it and planted grass seed on Sunday morning! All we have left is to finish up the re-plumbing of the outside faucet on the front of the house, pour a new concrete step (the ones I uncovered when I removed the old front entry deck are great, but the first step sunk so we need to remove it and pour a new one), and then level the back yard and plant grass seed there! The end is in sight!

The part that makes us insane though is that with that project not even done we spent about 6 hours running around this weekend looking at flooring for the kitchen. We are going to remodel the kitchen starting around the end of August: new floor, new countertops and sink, refinishing our cabinets with new doors and drawers, and new railings leading to the upstairs and downstairs and new paint on the walls. A pretty big undertaking! Oh, and sometime in September we are hoping to get the baby’s room done too!

So, this week we push to finish up the yard project so we can start a major kitchen remodel! Did I mention that my goal budget for the kitchen is $1800? Ya, the WHOLE kitchen! We are so crazy!
