D.I. Stop

I've had this

in the back of the car for the D.I. for a while now.

I finally dropped it off to day so I could fill it up with strollers and coolers

and umbrellas for a soccer tournament this weekend.

Two boys are playing.

We won two games and tied one.

And we'll do it all again tomorrow!

Deck Dirt

The back yard is mostly done including sod.

After cleaning the carpet yesterday, I mopped today, but the dirt kept coming in.

I don't have a great before picture, but here is part of the deck with the disassembled swing set on it.

It got put back up yesterday.

There was a picnic table, gloves, plants, tools, toys chairs, and about two gallons of dirt!

I finished clearing off the deck and gave it a good spray down.

Hopefully, there won't be as much coming inside now.

Cleaner Carpet

After weeks of having mud in the back yard,

my family room carpet was pretty bad.

I asked the 7-year-old to take a before and after picture (he loves to use the camera).

This is what I got...

Looks like I got one before and several after pictures.

(He actually took twice this many.)

Flower Pots

I bought some flower pots

because I wanted to take out these overgrown trees.

After buying them, the husband decided that he likes the trees and doesn't want me to take them out.

Sigh!

So I planted one of them in my flower pot

and put the other one on top of the last log in the front yard.

Free Wood

After splitting wood with my brother-in-law,

we had a whole lot left over.

I put it on KSL (online classifieds) and after five people showed up with trucks,

it was gone.

Hmmm...what else can I get someone else to haul away for me for free?

I better start looking around here!

Teenage Hangout

I've been wanting to change part of the basement playroom into a place 

for my teenager to hang out with his friends.

I've been looking for couches on the local online classifieds for months.

I finally found the perfect couch set.
Only three years old and got a great deal too;).

Here's the room before with the old couch ready to go out the door.

Here is the new set up. 

Now we just need a T.V. to go with it and the party will be at our house!

Basement Closet - Day Two

I finished the closet!

Before & After

After...

And look at all of this stuff that is going to the D.I.
