Andrew's birthday is coming up and we've got a busy week ahead, so I surprised him on Friday night. My brother brought Rocky's Pizza from Stevens Point (Andrew's favorite) and my mom helped me with Andrew's "cake." Andrew does not like real birthday cake and he does like snickers- so this was perfect for him. They were all here to surprise him and it was great!
We finished the deck! And we got two coats on the front porch as well. Job well done. In this instance, "we" is Andrew.
Here is the project we tackled this weekend. We would not have been able to do it without my parents. They worked every bit as hard as we did and were awesome helpers. We'll need to do a second coat soon, but we'll be able to do that on our own (I think). I'll get more finished pictures when that work is complete. I honestly did not think our deck was this big when we started the job.
Last weekend, Andrew and I got in a huge fight. Luckily it was a fun one. It was a snowball fight. Unfortunately, this is Wisconsin in May. I was going to put away the mittens. I might hang on to them a little longer.
Andrew and I were shopping for patio furniture last weekend with my little brother, when we happened upon this little number. It was so ridiculous I had to get a pic. My little brother was a good sport. For ultra-sophistication, the store offered the McDonald's plastic singing fish nearby. We captured that one as well.
When my brothers and I were younger and we misbehaved my mom would make us sit on "The Step." My niece was recently playing on the very same steps and she seemed way too happy there. I went to get a picture and Abby grabbed her Daddy and flashed this cheesy smile.
