The outside gate to save Mommy's Sanity

We've been thinking about how to block off the driveway from the backyard since our garage is set back behind the house and the kiddos like to rush down the driveway - and of course in opposite directions. So, Jason thought of how to take lawn fencing and stretch it across the driveway with a steel stake. It was a little flimsy, but with a wood board to stabilize the bottom, it works - hey...it was $10.00. And all we have to do is slide one end off the stake and fold it over. It worked pretty good today.
Then of course, Nicholas and Celia have now decided they want to walk across all the lawns to the neighbors yards. lol

Jason and I went to our small group bible study last night and when we got there, we realized that we had the wrong night. Oops! So we went to Target and picked up a pair of jeans and 2 shirts for each baby. I love the shirt we bought for Nicholas which says..... "I still live with my parents" (it just cracks me up!)

  2. rNice job on the homemade gate. Grandma would even be brave enough to take them outside at your house now! What or whom is Celia looking at in that picture???? It's priceless. Love, Grandma

  3. That is a very clever idea on the fence, and you can't beat $10 bucks! It's funny to me because in Arizona all driveways are in the front yard and all backyards have cinder block fences around them. I think I'd rather have that long driveway that you have! And cute shirts! We have that same shirt for Brody (but in a different color).
