The man is a beast.

Our lawn underwent a huge transformation in the space of about 5 hours yesterday.  Here it is at about 5 pm:

And here it is this morning, when it was light enough to take a photo:

Amazing, isn’t it?  Tony worked his ass off last night, with Leland’s help for a couple of hours.  When he was finally finished, he took off his pants, cracked a beer, and told me he was ready to sleep.*  I leaned in for a kiss, wrinkled my nose, and told him I thought he was ready for a shower.  He worked so hard and I am so proud of the end result.  Thank you, Tony!!!

We celebrated our 5th anniversary in Bellevue at The Melting Pot and it was delicious.  If the pricetag wasn’t so extraordinary, I would want to go every night.  I’ll settle for requesting a fondue pot for Christmas so I can make my own.

Tony ordered some dessert first.

Self Portrait!!!  (I promise I wore clothes to dinner, even if it doesn’t look like it right now)

Oh, yes, he’s as good as he looks.  Wait!  I mean, the dinner is as good as it looks!

Oh, fondue, how I love you…

I’m pretty sure there’s a photo of me at his age eating cereal out of a box on the floor, too.

Clearly, the main reason we had a child was so that he could help with household chores.

*Isn’t that always the first thing guys do when they want to get comfortable: take off their pants?

Naked fondue eating? Why not? Oh wait... the second-degree burns are probably a turn-off.

Certainly after the healing occurs, the taste of fondue lingers???
The yard does look phenomenal!! Great transformation. Course that cute little blonde helper is very resourceful and I am glad you guys are teaching him how to wash a car. Gma always needs help that way. Looks like the desert was something of a novelty too?
