Home Improvement Projects

Ahhhh.....Home Improvement. I love you and I hate you...

This past weekend, we had decorative curbing insatlled in our front gardens. We're so happy with it, and it looks great! But of course we couldn't stop there, NO, we then had to change out all the mulch so that it complemented the curbing and the brick color better. So we loaded down Eric's truck with ridiculous amounts of mulch and top soil. Well, really, there is no WE, I did it all! Eric and Ray were absolutely no help in lifting these 40 pound bags! (Yea right! I sat on the ground and drank lemonade and told them what they were doing wrong!)

My little helper for the day!

Here's the finished product, black mulch in all beds, and curbing complete!

Our lawn is actually much greener just in the past few days, so don't judge



Notice my new plant in the pot...I dont wanna talk about it



If you're keeping score, Planters - 3, Me - -$200

Last night, Erics Dad came over and we grilled some yummy deliciousness! Normal people make chicken and veggies, or steak and potatoes, or something like that. But when Ray is eating, we have to EXPERIMENT! So we made stuffed Jalepenos (deeeee-licious!), homeade potato chips, and of course some bbq chicken.

All our hard work on the grill!
The homeade potatoes are a work in progess, but they were still good. And we always love to grill outside. Im loving this weather b/c right now, we could do that every night!
