The What Ups and What nots in the life of Matt and Ashlee D.

Well this weekend was full, full, full!  Saturday we went to the mall and this is how Matt felt about that:

On Sunday we finished our front yard wall project AND did a serious spring clean of our garage.  I didn't take any pictures of the wall building this time, because a wall is a wall, and the right side looks just like the left in our previous post.  Also because Matt is a slave driver and seriously put me to work this time.  I'm feeling all my hard work in my hammies and back today.  OUCH!  Anyway, after completing the wall, we took a step back to admire our hard days work, only to realize the right side isn't level with the left.  It's about a half inch shorter.  CRAP!  I think we'll only have to fill in the spot that leads right up to the porch, because it seems to get higher as the wall continues.  Totally annoying and I wanted to knock the wall down with the tamper we used to level (or so we thought level) the ground under the wall, but I decided against it because it would have done no good and also the tamper is super heavy.  Thank goodness for Matt's superhero muscles.  I did take a picture of us at the start of the day... I don't think we were as smiley by the time it was over:

While Matt was building our trench (which I am absolutely no help towards) I took our cat Otis, for a walk.  Below is a picture of our little Oti:

That's right, a walk!  I leashed him up and we explored the yard, the driveway, and even some of our neighbors driveway.  He's so cool and we seriously love this little guy who is so unlike a cat, it's crazy.  He loves to snuggle, take rides on our backs around the house and will eat just about anything.  He apparently also likes to go on long walks with his mom around the yard.... Until a car comes, then he bolts and is a big pansy.  So cute though to have a cat who is so adventurous.  Here is a picture I took yesterday of our other cat, Baby, who wished more than anything that she could have come outside:

We're so happy the weather was nice and had such a good time together.  Just wish the weekend could have lasted much longer!
