Saturday was full of fun for me & the kids...We started out at the Dollar Tree so we could get lots of yard tools; shovels, hand rakes & gloves...We even got a few garden "angels" that Spencer said we had to have so they could watch over our flowers! We landed a few new pots & some hanging baskets too and even 10 bags of potting soil! I love that store - EVERYTHING is $1.00.
Then we were off to Desi's Veggies & Flowers in the mall parking lot. We got so many flowers that I didn't even know if we would have them too close together - but we made it! 4 flats & a few potatoe vines & even a couple ferns. We will be adding some iris bulbs this week (thanks to my friend Angela) to line the entire West side of the house that goes along the driveway.
Eric is going to paint the railings on the front & back porch & we are in the market for a porch bench or 2 chairs. I will be hunting that down at garage sales & clearance furniture. I'm hoping to get the kids' fort/swings fixed for them soon too. The tornado winds tore it completely up & the wood to the swings was rotten so it just fell to pieces when we tried to fix it. Hopefully Eric can collect enough unused wood from his job sites that we can rebuild it for them! It is a work in progress but we should have our house looking really nice for this summer! The kids pool is the next big ticket item! YEAH!!

Sounds like FUN...I love planting flowers in the spring...we are planning on adding to our backporch this summer! Dalton likes helping pick out the flowers and water them too! Kids are such great helpers:)
