Now that the weather is nicer, we’re finding ourselves outside more often.

James and Max love to play inside & out.

My three boys – they all love to play!

Josh is cutting down shrubs we don’t want or need in an attempt to start creating more of a design we do want. It’s a big yard and a big task… we are being patient and working in baby-steps. In the meantime, Josh enjoys burning everything he cuts down!

The pool deck and liner are also on that long list of To-Do’s. In fact, the deck was a priority to strip, plane, replace old screws, and stain over our Spring Break… that was until we saw the 7 Day Forecast: Rain, Wind, and more Rain! Great, Happy Spring Break. While the pool waits for upgrades, it’s a great place to find water bugs, frogs, and frog spawn. So it is James’ new favorite place to go adventuring.

We will see what Spring Break brings… we were hoping it would be LOTS of outdoor repair. We may be changing some plans. Even though the weather is a bummer, the good news is — We have the next week off.
