Another weekend of fun

Truthfully this post is 2 weeks late, and I'm a slacker in posting, but whatever. I took the photos, so here's the post.

More yard work. The back yard came with a icky Dish network pole in the middle of it, definitely had to go. And yes, we asked a Dish network installer about coming to remove it and he laughed and told us to throw it out. So it was up to us to get this sucker out of the ground. First photo is the above ground part, which Fixitman got off relatively easily.

Second photo is the evil part that was below ground, connected by a rope to the poles we used as leverage to get it out finally after digging a huge hole about 2 feet deep and trying to turn it and shake it and still not getting it loose still. Yep, it was a stupid screw piece in clay soil. Yay for fun! "Definitely not a standard installation" says Fixitman. This took 4 hours out of our day to figure out how to get it out. So much fun!!!


Finally is Dinoguy filling the hole back up, the "fun" part, before using the mower to mulch more leaves for us. Gotta love playing with dirt. Sarge is in the back eating the dirt. Did you know dogs like to eat dirt? What is up with that? Mmm...tasty dirt! Woohoo!

Lest you think we just do yardwork every weekend and nothing else, here is a photo of a game we played, as directed by Dinoguy. I think the goal was to have a really long spoon and try to move marshmallows to a cup, but hey, its easier to hold the spoon closer to get more marshmallows, so whatever. The boys had fun eating a whole bag of marshmallows with their long spoons and couldn't tell me the point of the game besides eating a lot of marshmallows (which they so generously shared with Mom & Dad (ick!)) though I think it originated from a veggietales movie and all their games have morals, but again, whatever.
