Today we woke up to clear blue skies and the chance for an outside work day! The kids and I tackled the upstairs railing, scraping off all the old and peeling paint. It was tedious and time consuming but we made it all the way around both sides of the deck! As we worked we talked about color ideas for the house and railing and still haven’t quite come to a unanimous decision yet…but at least we’re all ready for priming and painting the railing!
Meanwhile Josh got to work on the yard and suited up like a ninja ready for battle. It was sunny and hot and he must have been roasting out there, but he got the whole yard trimmed and did it all with a weed whip! They don’t use lawn mowers around here at all, just trimmers and we are people everywhere just trimming their yards. It took him a good 3 hours but he was a champ and finished the whole thing! After he was done, the cold shower was no problem I’m sure! And the yard looks so much better. Now we have an idea of what we’re working with and what we need to accomplish around the yard. Overall a really productive day!
We took the kids out for dinner and then a stroll along the beach as the sun was setting. We feel lucky to be in this little piece of paradise and have such a fun project to work on together!
