the yard...after!

I am a lazy blogger. Now that we've got that out of the way, I hereby present to you THE YARD. We finished the project in mid-August, but I'm just getting around to posting. So, we hope you enjoy the pics of our brand-spankin' new concrete, the lushest green grass you'll ever step foot on, darling patio furniture (purchased on clearance at Target, I might add), new sprinkler system, the final length of vinyl fencing, concrete curbing and a fabulous new basketball hoop to keep my little maniacs, er...boys, happy and busy. In short, it's perfect...and I love that my also-perfect husband finally has his favorite stress relief right in his own backyard. It's clean, simple, and exactly the way we envisioned it. The kids have a ton of room for riding bikes & scooters, four-square, soccer, football, tossing a baseball...well, you get the picture. You can't see it, but there's also a narrow flowerbed along the back fence, which will hopefully be filled with gorgeous flowers next year.

And a final tribute to my amazing husband: thanks for always being so conservative, careful and smart with our finances. We all may tease you for being the Budget Nazi, but it's wonderful when saving, sacrificing and planning come together to make something great for our family to enjoy! Thank you! XOXOXOXOXOXO
