Its Friday so I thought I’d humor you with a little video of the laughing kid. This is by far his favorite amusement. Its just about guaranteed to get a laugh regardless of his mood.

I just got the call today that our fence is going in tomorrow. On the one hand, I’m very excited. That’s a really quick turn around for a fence. On the other hand, I need to do a lot of cleaning and yard work tomorrow. This won’t make it easy. Couple that with the fact that now I have to line the deck with lattice tomorrow in order to use the fence (the underside of the deck is open, if I don’t block it, the unleashed dogs will get under there in seconds and never come out.) Its sort of one more thing I didn’t need tomorrow.

The real upside is we can start letting the dogs frolic of the leash when we’re home. They will be beside themselves. Maddie has never been able to run in a space that big so I’m sure she’ll exhaust herself in seconds. Julie, on the other hand, was used to that kind of freedom before she came to us so I’m sure she’ll feel this is long overdue.

Aidan’s baptism is Sunday so there will be a cleaning tornado through the house and the yards tomorrow. We did a lot of the big stuff earlier in preparation but there’s still the little things to do, and a lot of them. Now with the fence in the mix, it looks like my idea of any lawn work just went away. Boohoo.
