Paving

Here is a project that took up a good week of our family time - paving our backyard.  We have used old bricks that were piled up in the corner and 45 cm concrete pavers to create a sitting area outside our back door.  It was a lot of work and created quite a lot of mud, along with two large piles of dirt (one in our front yard and one in the back corner of the backyard) that are still there, but it had made a real difference to the outlook from our lounge.  Before it was even finished my 2 year old was busy doing 'mud cooking' on a section of it, and yesterday morning all the kids took their drawing stuff outside to sit in the autumn sun and be crafty.
