make it happen

that is our goal for the week. oh how i amuse myself. i like to throw that phrase around amongst my friends. like "get me a pizza, make it happen". rarely does anything actually happen though...


but, the block work is finished. here are the blocks. so patiently awaiting their friends, the woods to come on over.


welcome to our home. this is where our side door will come into the the house from the garage. so basically where everybody will come into our house. we considered not having a front door, but thought that would be weird. so instead we are going to have two.

ah, the courtyard, what i fought for. i am not sure who in the world has a courtyard anymore, but i will. and one day my pool will be in the courtyard. and we will lay out by it and have drinks and relax all under the shadow of the romantic damn alltel tower off in the distance. ah lovely. and check it out, a cell phone hardly works out there. i am thinking they just put it up for the buzzards to roost on, which of course only adds to the romance.

and finally the littlest building inspector. picking up trash. a grown man can walk by a trash can all day long and throw this mess on the ground, but a 3.5 year old can get out there and pick it up. i mean really? i am thinking i may blow this up poster size and attach it to the side of the dumpster. i mean how could that pitifulness not encourage you to just throw your trash away?
