A pretty busy Saturday!

First of all. We got new couches. They are a cheap set, but will be fine for a few years. Our old set was really nasty and falling apart.

We put the couches in and the old ones were put in the carport till we knew what to do with them.


Then, Canyon's Pinewood Derby race. He of course did not place or even win any of the 3 races he was in....but, we were there.

Setting his truck on the track.

Sitting with all the boys.

The line up of cars.

After 3 hours, he got a 'participant' award.

When we got home we went to Lowe's and got a load of pavers. While Zach and Jay Mac skinned, gutted, and de-boned the old couches, Sahara and I laid the pavers.


They found 2 old cell phones, a long lost remote and a couple handfulls of match box cars.




After unloading the pavers, Sahara sweeps out the back of the truck.



Canyon thought it was his job to stand right next to me.


The finished project. I know I did it wrong...I just laid the pavers right on top of the cement. probably was supposed to put sand down first...probably was supposed to brush sand between them...but I figured with 60 - 75 inches of rain a year, the sand would be washed out in a week.


The padding from the couches was put in the trash and the frames were hauled to the burn pile and set a blaze. They were completely kindling in 10 minutes flat! The kids stayed out with the fire till midnight and then the boys left and I crashed! Tomorrow, the first mow of the season! Joy!
