We have spent much of the weekend staining our house. It needs it badly and I was ready for a change.
The backyard, a little disheveled
.......The kids and I started on the back before Ken got home from work Friday. At first I was a little unsure, paint never seems to look exactly like you picture it in your mind. I thought this would be a little darker green but I really like it now that more of the old blue is covered.

While we painted some of the younger ones entertained themselves in the water. For a while Nathan wanted to paint with us so we gave him a cup of water and a paintbrush and he "painted" the bricks.
.........It was a hot day and is usually the case: heat + water = water fight!
They were all lovin' it! Not sure how a couple of the kids escaped being involved.
We continue to work on the house. A thunderstorm mid-day today put a stop to our painting. We'll keep plugging away at it. I'll post pictures when we get more done, only two upper level sides to go!
