Easiest makeover yet

For me at least! Last week I went to Dallas for a few days for work and when I got back my dad (who was down with my mom to take care of G in the evenings) had painted out outside table. It looks great!

New front door!

Okay, it is the same door, but it looks new!

Fall Veggies

Our fall garden is in! We have carrots (from seed so there are no pictures because it would just be dirt right now), tomatoes, broccoli, cilantro and peppers. We also have a strawberry plant still hanging on from the summer.

An attempt at fall tomatoes. This one hasn't grown very much, so I'm not too hopeful:

 

This tomato is doing much better. It even has some blossoms. Hopefully it will fruit soon!


This is the pepper area. There is a jalapeno and an anaheim plant in here, and they are too close together because I didn't realize the anaheim actually sprouted. However, they are doing pretty well:


Strawberries. The plant is doing awesome, but we've gotten exactly 1 strawberry out of it. The birds have gotten to all the rest first:


Cilantro again now that it is cooler:


Broccoli (if you know me, you know this was an Andrew request):

Grayson's play area

I'm working on making the area to the side of our patio a play area for Grayson. We moved the sandbox over there, and today I added a toy car road. It is just pavers but I added some yellow lane strips.


The tunnel was surprisingly hard to make steep enough to actually have a car easily go through:



The parking lot. I'm thinking about adding a "garage" or something to this also.


I would like to get a few more squares a make a little area for his picnic table. Hopefully Grayson enjoys it!
