Sod, Trees and Halloween!!



Trick or Treat!!
I think this is the greatest picture ever...but lets not get out of order...here is our last month:
Billy and Nina on our lawn...
...or at least the corner we got installed by ourselves.
Nina and I looking ahead at all the work to be done the next morningNina on her grass throne.
And here comes all of the help the next morning...
Michael and Tricia,Janelle,


Noah (what would we have done without our orange eater),

Mom and Dad De Groot...and that is not all...I didn't get pictures of Mom Wheadon, Maddie (the babysitters), Keri and Lia, Jake and Mandy, Ava....Thank you all! You made the work go so fast!


Billy fussing over the sod in our backyard that seems to go on forever.
And then if we didn't have enough projects going we decided to plant trees!

This was about a 3 day project...but it will pay off in the long run!
Nina especially loved planting trees in the cold. I love this starfish/teletubie jumpsuit!
And now...HALLOWEEN!!!
Presenting our Parrot...and pirate family!

Billy and Nina won the costume contest at work for the "cuteset costume." Don't you love this face?
