My Hubby’s Weekend Project

Can you guess what my hubby will be putting together this weekend? If you guessed a Swing-Set you are right. The boy’s super-cool Grandma got our family a new Swing-set, and we are all so happy! The weather has been rainy today, but James already has the frame finished and the swings on. I can’t wait for the yard to dry out a bit, and we can go out and play!

Thade is looking forward to playing on the slide, and I hope that Dylan enjoys the Baby swing. No matter what it will be so nice to have a safe place for the boy’s to go out and play.

Project Backyard

This Spring James and I are working on the backyard. We want to make it a fun place for the kiddos and a nice place for us to relax too. I started working on a small flower bed Monday, and yesterday I finally got a few plants planted

I was worried that I got a little ahead of myself with the plants, but I ended up with just the right amount. I had six larger plants for the flower bed, plenty of pretty flowers for the four hanging baskets, and one pack left over for a large planter.

 

I just love the picture of Thade, he is telling me where to plant the flowers The entire car ride home, he kept asking when can I water the plants. I’m glad that he is excited about all of the new gardening responsibilities

 

I was pretty pleased (and James too) with how the flower bed turned out. A little bit of mulch really made all of the difference, and it made the project look great. Now I just need to get into the habit of keeping the plants watered

Choosing Between the Two

We both really like the blue and green wall paper. I made the little newsprint curtains, and I think they will go well with either choice. We have a small 1/2 bath in the utility room that is also going to need wall paper, so I might use the pink wall paper in there. Now we are also thinking about putting wall paper in the Master Bedroom as an accent wall, so many choices, and so much to do…
