TGIF
Ever have one of those weeks? I started off the week getting sick. It hurt to breath but otherwise I felt fine (besides being a little worn out). Well, that is over. Now, I’m fully sick. Sore throat and a runny nose. Joy. At least I don’t feel as if a bunch of construction equipment has parked on my chest.
We also had some gutter covering company come out last night. Holy cow is that stuff expensive. Our quote was over $1800! I told Bill for $1800 he could keep climbing up on the ladder. 
We don’t have trees with leaves. However, we do have pine trees, so our issue is pine needles. There aren’t a whole lot of products on the market that keep those out of your gutters and do it well.
I’m also trying to get a ton of reviews up on Lisa Reviews before Christmas. I would much rather climb under a blanket (and I still just might). Lots of great giveaways coming over there too! (Hint: DS games for girls!).
I also have a ton of presents I need to get wrapped still for my kids, we still have to decorate the house, and we don’t have our tree up either! I’m seeing a super busy weekend in my future!
What are your weekend plans? Have you managed not to get sick yet?

Wordless Wednesday: Minus One Tree
We cut one of the trees down in the front a couple of weeks ago. You couldn’t see our house, it was overgrown, and nothing was growing in the front because nothing could get light. Here is the before:
Here is the after:

Redesigning your yard
That’s my goal for the next week or so. Now that we’ve done the siding, I want to pretty up the yard. We are talking about taking down one of the trees in the front of the house (the guy is coming on Wednesday to give us an estimate. We’ll see about removing said tree. LOL It’s about 90 ft tall so it’s not going to be cheap). We added a shed last winter. I’ve taken a couple of landscaping classes, so I’m hoping to make the yard look a lot better.
I also want this:
I found this at Backyard Discovery. I want it. It has everything I could want in a swingset. We currently have a Step 2 playset and my kids are outgrowing that. The things I love with this playset:
1. It has a sandbox. We currently have a turtle sandbox. That’s not fitting the kids too well anymore.
2. It has a picnic table. The kids have their own table instead of using or patio table. That would be awesome.
3. A slide is a must have at our house. My kids love slides.
4. It also has two spots for swings. Both my kids love to swing, so I need at least two. This set delivers.
I don’t know anybody with one of these sets, but it looks super awesome and my kids would love this! Actually, I’d recommend several of the playsets that I found at Backyard Discovery. Any one of those sets would go great in my yard!
Bill’s sleeping right now, but I’ll see if I can hit him up for a new swingset in the morning. I have a feeling he’ll say no, but I’d love to hear your ideas about where to find new playsets.
