This year I decided to jazz up our patio. Since replacing the brick patio is not an option, I decided to buy a big outdoor rug. What a difference it makes. I added a couple of pillows and a red lantern. My favorite is our new American flag.
Chad installed new brick pavers to make a decorative wall for the front flower beds. It was a TON of work for him, but looks great. I planted the flowers and added mulch.
We are already lighting up some fireworks. You know, the safe ones for kids like snakes and Pop-its.
Tis the season of dirty kids. The dirtier they are the more fun we had. I love the smell of sweaty kids with a hint of sunscreen and pool chlorine. I'll post pool pictures soon.
