Patio

The patio of our imagination (see the little white flags?) and the workers starting to make the dream a reality. (in other words, this is the BEFORE picture)

It's getting there...

From New Patio!

We have already spent more time outside in the last few days (we put the furniture on the patio Wednesday night) that we did in the month before. Every night, after little man goes to bed, my hubby wants to "go sit on the patio before it gets dark".

Not only is it nice, and comfy, but it's a fantastic escape from a messy house. Which is exactly why I'm finding time to write about it now. Clean the messy house or sit outside and play on the computer? Not a tough decision. I could rarely do this inside the messy house, because the mess gets to be too distracting.

We had friends over last night, fun, food, conversation. Good night. It was fun breaking in the patio. Good place to sit, and a good place for the toddler boys to drive their cars back and forth (without having to worry about them driving onto the road, or around the neighborhood).

I, WE, LOVE our new patio. This is the best mother's day, birthday, christmas, etc, etc, present all rolled into one.
