Operaton: The Grass Is Greener - The Popular House!

Well, after much deliberation, weeping, wailing, and nashing of teeth, we went ahead and had dirt brought in and the backyard raked and leveled. Consequently, our house was every little boys' dream home for a couple of days. In fact, the first day every single boy 12 and under were at our house watching what was going on. It was hillarious!

Notice the gaggle of boys to the left of the big machine. The little boy in the right bottem corner and another little boy from next door sat with Little Man and I on a blanket to watch the work. They would get so excited every time the front loader would come back from the backyard to get more dirt. They also kept hinting that they REALLY, R-E-A-L-L-Y wanted to go play in the dirt pile but I told them no.

And here is the end result. One step closer!
