Today we made some progress on the house. In the front by our driveway we have a cinder-block retaining wall that had chipped paint and looked pretty bad. A few weeks ago my husband power washed it and got some primer on there. It's been sitting since. I decided it was going to get done today. It became a family project of sorts. All of us (except Bekah who is a super-hero when it comes to dodging work) helped paint it. Check that off the list!
It was hot out there working, and even with sunscreen, I got a little burnt. Not too bad though. The best part of this day was the fact that our pool is clear enough to swim in! Woo hoo! It was so refreshing to jump in after all that work.
I'm pretty wiped out now. I think I'm going to crash on the couch and read the latest Dekker novel for the rest of the night. Tomorrow we tackle the back yard!
