Busy Days

It's been a number of busy weeks, not just days.  Our June typically follows that fashion.  The end of the school year bustles to a close, we usually have a few days or a week in which to squeeze home projects that have been waiting in the wings all year, then Pete starts his summer job and we begin to finally settle into a summer routine. 

One of our projects was a modified sandbox for the kids--mainly so Adam would not relocate the mulch we just spread around the flowerbeds.  Instead of sand though, we hauled a load of pebbles.  Some are sizeable, but no matter.  The kids were enjoying it this afternoon and I snapped a few shots.

What is that on Adam's chin, you ask? 

It's his admission of guilt.  Strawberry snitch.  :-)

Another project was painting the walls we had built to divide the basement in half (kids playroom on one side, and Pete's tool/car stuff and household storage on the other).  We didn't want it REALLY finished, just walled to be honest, but it did need a coat or two of paint to look a bit nicer and less like a dark basement.

Natalia wanted to help so why not?!

Two projects crossed off the "Honey Do" list...   :-)
