Making Backyard Progress…

Andrew and I have been digging trenches like crazy.  We finally have all the sprinklers in.  I am so glad that Andrew knows how to do all this stuff like planning out the sprinkler system and putting it together.

Luckily when we came across this big boulder, we had a neighbor willing to move it to the side of the yard for us.

Thankfully, the kids have been happy to play in the sand and we were able to get all this work done.

Now its time to add more topsoil and then we are ready for sod!

A Little Spot to Read a Book…

I’ve had this vision for our upstairs hallway “loft” area since we moved in and I finally got around to putting it together.  I wanted cozy, kid friendly décor that would add a little color to the bare walls.  Joshua helped me paint to letters and add the glitter. 

The shelves are spice racks from IKEA and the canvas book covers were printed on tissue paper and then Mod-Podged onto canvas.  I love how it turned out, and the kids love it too!
