Back Yard View

I am slowly getting things in shape around my house. Little projects here and there. The back yard was really one area I was wanting to spruce up so that we could hang out more outside this summer. The kids had wrecked the patio with their painting projects (yes encouraged by me of course). I decided to stain my concrete patio. It turned out really well and I am very glad I did it.

The Before picture. A little too ghetto Picasso for my taste.

And After. Aaaaahhhh...much better!

I decided to invest in some good quality outdoor furniture. That first night that it came the kids snuggled up with me under a blanket. It was awesome. I can't believe that we are still having cool nights here!

Of course the kids loved the box the furniture came in even more:)

Kate had her nutritious breakfast on the patio Friday morning.

My absolute favorite flowers. I can't believe I found them in bright yellow.
