From Instagram: We can’t stop laughing, LOL!
This week feels like summer is in full swing…the pool and trampoline are set up in the backyard and in constant use, we’re snacking on watermelon and fresh-squeezed lemonade, and we’re trying to carve out as much time as possible for play dates and special day trips.
Well, the kids and I are.
Sean, on the other hand, is hard at work finishing up the exterior of our home. We got real landscaping in April, and he’s been repainting the porch and trim and adding window boxes and shutters. It’s so very pretty! We are finishing up projects in preparation for moving in the next couple of years, but our goal is to be done early enough that we can actually enjoy some of the changes rather than finishing them on just to sell the house!
