We've started to brush Joey and Barkley's teeth. The toothpaste is meat-flavored, and the dogs love it. It's gotten to the point where if we are brushing our teeth, Joey will come and sit by the vanity in the bathroom expecting his teeth to be brushed. We made a couple videos of brushing the dogs' teeth (yes, this is what we've digressed to...dog-teeth-brushing videos...)
It has been a weekend of projects for us. Ashley decided to redo one of our outdoor showers. The wood had rotted about a bit and had become quite soft at the bottom. She's become a very adept carpenter.
I think she just has to finish the door, do some painting, and we'll be showering outside again in no time :-) Actually, the shower is quite handy if we've been swimming in the ocean, but it also can serve as a great place to wash dogs. I finished up laying some sod and installing a flagstone path in our backyard that goes down to our beach. It was far more work than I had anticipated, and I've very happy to be done with it. First up, the new sod.
Here's a shot of the entire sodded area of the backyard. We've done from the deck all the way out since May.
The grass has taken very nicely--it's far easier here in the south where it's humid to install sod compared to Colorado. Next is a picture of the walkway.
It's hard to tell, but the path runs all the way down to our fence. Since Tuesday, I've moved a pallet of sod (about a ton), two pallets of flagstone (almost three tons) and two one-ton bags of gravel. All this had to be done using a wheel-barrel since we can't get a forklift through our fence.
Bode's first week of school was a smashing success. He managed to find the school, found all his classrooms, and even submitted his assignments. He's also purchased his gym t-shirt and has all his supplies--he even got a calculator for his math class. We'll see how things go this week when the real work starts. Bode spent today preparing by playing on his computer.
Pleasant week to all.
