Let the projects begin...

All week we had been planning on taking the kids to Dollywood to start using our season passes but David woke up with some inner ear going on. So, we figured it was probably not a good day for him to ride roller coasters with the boys. Although they were a little disappointed the boys were really happy to spend a day at home. Mason always tells me how he never gets to stay at home all day anymore. Poor guy. When Mason started kindergarten he was so upset that he had to go every day and that he would not be home at all during the week. He once told me he would rather go to school a day and stay home a day then go to school a day and be home a day...I am sure we all wish it was that way. Since Dollywood was out of the question today we started some of our spring/summer projects around the house today. With an older house there is ALWAYS something that needs to be done. First of all being our front walkway...(pictures to come later). We never hire anyone to do any of our projects. David and I are very much do it ourselves kind of people. If we don't know how we figure it out. It may not always turn out perfect every time but we always have fun in the process and learn something new as we go. Last year we added on our screened in porch which we are still working on. Being pregnant and having a newborn put a damper on finishing a few things. This year I am determined to finish the screened porch of course, the walkway, and the landscaping. I have always had a green thumb. I love flowers and plants and digging in the dirt but at this house it has been a constant struggle to get my plants and flowers to grow. I am hoping to change that this year! Even though the day didn't start out like we had planned...it was a GREAT day! I enjoyed spending the day working outside with David and the kids. The kids even helped take up the old walkway! I think it was fun at first and then by the time we were done...not so much! I am very proud of them though for starting the job and staying with it until it was finished. God sure has blessed me with some wonderful boys!!! (Big and little)
