Mama found the camera, see what we've been doing....

I finally located my camera (acutally Robert found it, thanks honey!). We have been busy with outdoor projects, indoor painting, part-time jobs (mine) vegetable plantings, jet-skiing (Robert)yard work and so on. The kids are loving the yard here and Robert's idea to put the playset out in the "woods" at the back of the yard was a good one. It is always shady and cool back there so no one minds being outside for lone periods of time. I bought the swingset on Craigslist for $250 and the playhouse for $50. Good buys, both of them. The swingset just needed some stain and some sand and we were good to go. Daddy has to put the slide up still but other than that, it is pretty much done back there. We have also put stairs off the back deck, a retaining wall off the back sliding doors and "grow" boxes along the side of the house. Whew! We have lots of other projects in the works, including a rummage sale in two weeks but we are taking a break for a while to enjoy. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer!
