Landscaping

Over the last couple of days we have been trying to get some landscaping done. What a pain. It's hard when you have no idea about anything such as what kind of tree to get and where to put them. Our backyard is really starting to come together though. We have our garden and laid our sod last fall and now we have 2 apple trees. It's starting to look nice. It makes me antsy to get the rest of the yard done. Why do things have to cost so much? I bought a bush to put in my flower bed today and a shade tree that is likely too big for the area we want to put it in so now I don't know what we are going to do. We are planning on finishing the sides of our house with more topsoil and sod and then we will have only the front yard left for next year. Hopefully only one more year of Sydnee making a mess with our dirt in the front yard. Which today she fell into a puddle that was in the dirt. Yuck. I am so glad we were able to build a house, but the work that goes into a new home, not so fun. Our neighbors next to us are working on their sprinkler system and will finish their whole yard in sod this spring. Jealous. Today Syd had fun playing with the neighbors. Funny story. The neighbor boy had to go into the house because he pooped his pants and then a little later Syd was in the puddle, which a little while after that she peed her pants. Rough day in the yard for the kids. :)
