When we moved into our house we were required to put up this fence - for the daycare. I have pretty much always hated it.
So, this past weekend, a year after we gave up the daycare with no intention of ever going back, we took it down.
As you can see it went down with a bang!
Big Brother helped by hammer all the pieces of wood he could get his hands on.
Big Sister helped by holding onto the baby monitor and listening for "Sister" to wake up.
And I celebrated when all of it was finally down. And the best part was that later that night one of the neighborhood boys stopped by and asked if they could have the wood to build a fort in the woods. How cool!! Take it buddy and enjoy!For more Wordless Wednesday see 5minutesformom, and for more Wordful Wednesday see Seven Clown Circus.
It must be nice to have the open space again! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference it makes without the fence! :)
ReplyDeleteI always think it is so strange when people don't have a fence around their back yard. In southern california it is the norm.
ReplyDeletetoo funny! Hope their fort turns out great!
ReplyDeleteWay cool! Forts are so much better than fences:)
ReplyDeleteI am just the opposite. I NEED to have a fence for my yard or I lose my mind. LOL (mostly it's because my son Will is handicapped and needs to have a very safe and secure place to play)
ReplyDeleteIt made a HUGE difference in how your yard looks though .
And, LOVE your little helpers :)
How fun. I bet the kids had a great time joining in! :)
ReplyDeleteLove you helpers!! They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY WW!
How cool that they used the wood for a fort!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love it : ) I love that someone built a fort with it! How cool is that : ) I know you made those boys day! : ) I have never been a fence fan either. They just seem so 'stand offish' : )
ReplyDeletewow look at how far you can see now. Enjoy...and even better that the wood was reused that is cool
ReplyDeleteI not a big fan of fences either. You'll backyard will feel so much bigger now. Enjoy the freedom! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice! And what an awesome way to recycle that! Or, put it to good use at least!
ReplyDeleteIt is great you could recycle. It looks like they had fun taking it down.
ReplyDeleteCool! And, working hard kids are my favorite kind!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the comment above that forts are so much better than fences - and lots more fun!
ReplyDeleteSo Precious!! Your blog is too cute!! Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! It looks much better. :D
ReplyDeleteSo glad the wood will be used for something fun! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great family project, and wide open spaces
ReplyDeleteI bet your yard feels huge now!
ReplyDeletegood job! It's nice to be free!
ReplyDeleteI bet it is nice to have it down. We have a fence because we put our dog out in the yard a lot but I like open yards.
ReplyDeleteYay! I bet your yard seems so much bigger now. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's cool that the neighbor took it for a fort how fun!
