Uh Oh!

WE'RE IN TROUBLE!!!
That's right! Lucy is a walking crawling disaster waiting to happen. 

Potential Disaster #1 - THE STAIRS!!! She has recently mastered the stairs.
She loves the stairs!  And she loves it even more when we "chase" after her!  She giggles and "runs".  I LOVE IT!!
Potential Disaster #2 - THE PANTRY!!!  This is where I found her today. 
She successfully knocked off half a dozen canning jars, tipped over jello and cake mix boxes,
 and scattered an opened package of spaghetti noodles EVERYWHERE. 
Pretty sure this means I'm going to have to rearrange the pantry for a third time.
Potential Disaster #3 - THE SMILE!!!  Quite possibly the most dangerous of all.
Because I have a feeling with that smile, she's going to get herself out of A LOT of trouble!

It's DONE!!!

I mentioned a few posts ago that we were working on putting a sprinkler system in our yard. 
And that project, I am happy to say, is finished (with just have a few little tweeks left to do).  HIP HIP HOORAY!!!  It's been a long (for me) and hard (for Mark) project but it was much needed and will be well worth it.  Our lawn has taken a severe beating these last few weeks and it will be great to get some consistent watering on it so it can "heal". 
The girls loved to help Mark dig holes and fetch tools for him. 

Even Lucy spent some time helping.
Oops!
  However, most of the time Lucy and I just watched!
And the girls played in the Sandbox with our neighbors!  Sorry daddy!
 There were probably close to 100 holes or trenches Mark had to dig! 
But thanks to our wonderful neighbor . . .  he didn't have to dig them alone!
During the sprinkler project we also decided to fill some flower beds with sod.
It was a HUGE project but I am so grateful for all the help we received.  We could not have done it with out you!
