We've been through a couple of home improvements that last couple of weeks and wanted to share the results.
Ok, so it's not a home improvement but daddy is fired up about his new monitor. 23 inches of hp goodness!
Mommy's new sink. The old one was pretty nasty when we moved in...chipped, dirty, etc. She wanted one large sink as opposed to the split one we had before. After a couple of weeks, we love it.
The guy just finished painting the shutters and front door. I may have tackled this one myself, but daddy doesn't get along well with 30 foot ladders. That and I don't have one! The old paint was weathered and chipped and the difference is huge. The black looks striking against our house - once again, Molly picked a winner.
I spent all of last weekend in the yard (75 and sunny!). This space gets overrun with weeds and ground cover every summer, so we tore it up and added a ton of bark. It doesn't look like much, but I had to move a TON of bark from the front to the back, one wheel barrow at a time. I also added another layer of bricks to the wall (you can't see it very well in these pics, I'll post more later). It was a lot of work, but the results are worth the effort. The kids came out on Saturday and we had a family work day. Even though they had me working alone on Sunday, they're efforts were rewarded with a nice lawn and two massive cupcakes.

Nice job on the paint. I want to see a before and after since I've never seen the before. And the yard looks great!!! When you come this summer my yard could use a little sprucing up.
I'll throw up some "before" pictures later tonight. They were a faded, dingy blue...very nasty.
I don't know if MY yard will be done by summer...not sure if I'm ready to tackle yours!
We're planning some yard work this weekend if you're up for a weekend in the rain ...
