this backyard thing became really a total disaster! we thought we were almost done with the sprinkler system but then we noticed that everything was pre-wired and the main water supply pipe ready to go on the other side of the house!?!?! so to do it right with no regrets later, we decide to move the sprinkler valves, more manually digging, and obviously re-do some of the piping. think we'll really be done with this next weekend and after that we gonna get ready to plant grass seeds.
here is our little helper, playing with the dinosaurs i got him the other day.
walking around with this cute silly face, totally cracked me up! :) in the background, there's stacked up soil with fertilizer for the grass, more pipes and tools and daniel working :)
very seriously checking out the "elbow" pvc pipe connector...
you see the dirt hill? that's how much we had to dig manually with a help of daniel's dad and uncle to re-do this thing!
this is after we connected everything with all the piping and valves (this thing controls the water flow like when to shut off or go. we have to wire these valves to the main controller (see the black wires coming out on the top) now). i don't know if you noticed but this time these valves are not as tall as the one we did before because we decided to put them underground with lid so it'll be out of the way! i'll put a picture next week so you know what i'm talking about! :)

海くんはdinosaur好きなんですね♪
私も息子には『dinosaur』と思っていたのですが
あまり、興味を持ってくれません…
電車に心奪われてます…
近所に駅があるので、毎朝散歩で見に行くせいだと思います＾＾；
ポスターの件、急ぎません！
お互い小さい子も居ますし、休みの日はお家のことで
お忙しいと思いますので、無理なさらないでくださいね！！
kyokoさん、
sounds like you were busy doing stuff around the house too ;)
but did you guys do something special for josh at the end of the day?
we just went out for late lunch with daniel's parents, that was it!
yes, i totally think that kai has huge sand or more like dirt box in the backyard! LOL
まるさん、
やっとがんばってここまできました ＾＾：
まさかバルブやパイプをやり直さなきゃならないとは計算外でした...
でもまあプロを雇わないで自分たちで安くやっているので
それはしょうがないかもしれませんね 笑
でも今度こそやっともう少しなので終わりそうなので
私はハッピーです。＾＾
yukiさん、
yes, he is always having fun in the backyard, getting in our way
of getting things done quickly ;)
i just can't wait to finish this part of DIY sprinkler system!
i don't wanna dig the ground with shovel anymore!!! ;)
ことりさん、
海は恐竜すきなのかはまだわかりませーん！
私が勝手にかってあげているようなものなので... 笑
よくこっちだとスーパーなどでチキンナゲッツが
恐竜の形をしている物などうっているので私がかわいいと
おもって結構買ってたりしてます。このぶんだと海の
２歳のバースデーパーティーのテーマも恐竜でいこうかな？
ともう考えちゃったりしてます。笑
でも電車もかわいいですよね、機関車トーマスとか ＾＾
やり直し、大変ですねー・・・ :-(
でも、終わりも見えて来た様で・・・、良かったでした。
きっと後で良い思いでになりますね ＾＾
恐竜を持って歩いている海くんとパイプを調べている（？）海くん、良い表情ですね～！
どちらも、お母様にしか撮れない写真だと思いました・・・ ＾＾
