Green Thumb

I have so many projects in the making right now, I cannot wait to share with y'all!!! One of them is decorating/creating our balcony. Right now all that is out there is our grill so we're starting from scratch. Today we started the make-over by planting tulips, pink hyacinths, basil, and a cherry tomato plant! I also have some pansies ready to plant and put up in hanging baskets. This morning the Hubs and I stopped by the Salvation Army and found a patio table and four chairs. It was marked down from $90 to $60! We bought it and are picking it up tomorrow. I just can't wait for everything to be put together. This weather is making me want to grill out and sit on the patio to eat dinner!

My gardening helpers!

Dixie was the only one who cooperated and posed for the camera.

And just for fun...a picture of the little miss yelling at me this afternoon! I was picking up in the other room while she was playing but she felt the need to get my attention RIGHT THEN. ha!

Some of my other projects I have going on are:

- Planting flowers in the front flower bed.
- Actually creating a front flower bed ;-) Right now it's just rocks.
- Planting flowers around our tree in the front yard.
- Repainting my "mom desk" for my "moffice"
- Create my "moffice" ;-) For the record I did not come up with that name...the hubs did.
- Turning our sun room into an official play room for EC. Right now it's just a room where all of her stuff seems to accumulate.
- Decorate our Master bedroom. I have all of the stuff, I just need to DO it! I'm actually going to pick a paint color tonight! I have two samples that I picked up at Lowe's the other day.

WHEW. I get exhausted just thinking about all of that. That list is just what I have planned. I have a few other little home projects that I would like to do! While I have a TON to do I am SO excited about each project and can't wait to share. Let's hope my spring cleaning/organizing/project-ing bug stays around for a bit! I usually get like this in the spring and the instinct to clean and craft is almost stronger than my pregnancy nesting instinct! HA!

 Have you caught the spring cleaning bug yet???

How cute! EC seems to enjoy the sunshine!

I wish I was good about planting pretty flowers (and keeping them alive) but it's just not my thing! I like all the brightly colored pots you chose, so I think I'll just admire yours :)

We have the same bouncer! G loves the piano. :)

Are you going to put something else in the pots when the hyacinth and tulips finish blooming? ((I worked in the garden center at Lowes for a couple of years))

YES! I was non-stop yesterday after work. I don't think I ever sat down!
