Well a couple of days ago I wrote out a nice long post, pictures and all. . . and it magically got deleted when I tried to save it. Out of frustration, I haven’t even wanted to think about writing in here again. Until today. So I’m saving this one as I write it!

We’ve had a busy couple of weeks. Two weekends ago I set out to paint our new patio set. I wasn’t completely in love with the color it was. I wanted something brighter. So I went to Lowe’s and bought a couple cans of white spray paint, set up old sheets all over the driveway and spent a whole afternoon covered in paint. While I was busy with the patio furniture, Kevin was in the back yard working on staining our deck a nice chocolate brown color. He came out to see how things were going with me and noticed how windy it was and thought we should probably cover the cars in the garage just in case. But we were a little too late because the Volvo ended up covered in little white specks. Booo. So we’ve been trying to figure out how to get it off.

Easter was lovely. My parents came to visit Access with us and really seemed to enjoy it. Later that night we had my family over for dinner and to hide eggs with my nephews. That was really cute and they had a lot of fun. This past week Kevin’s family from Tennessee were here and we were able to spend a couple of days with them. Kevin and his brother took 2 of our nephews to Lowry Park Zoo and I stayed and kept Mary company since she was stuck at home with a sprained ankle. My owl and bird burp cloths finally got some legs thanks to her. Being terrified of the sewing machine kept me away from doing that on my own. Thanks Mary

Here are before and after pictures of our fabulous deck that we worked soooo hard on!
