What I've been up to...

Hello all!
Yesterday I went and purchased a flat of flowers... yippee!
When the weather gets nice I get the "itch" to plant flowers.
Its still too cool to plant in the ground so I did several pots for my front yard that had some photo shoot fun with my boys!
I got dahlias, zinnias and a purple flower that I forgot the name of now...?

I love to group flower pots on my porch, I feel it makes our home look a bit more inviting...
Some more pots; I cannot wait till the flowers bloom like crazy!
 I stenciled and painted on this pot years ago; 
it was only fitting to plant the purple flowers in there!
I picked up this cute bunny garden stake at Michaels from the Easter clearance 75% off!

...........................................
Here are some sweet pics that I took of Gage hangin' around by our neighbors tree...
Isn't this such a cute pic? 
He was "hamming" it up for the camera yesterday so I got some great smiley shots ♥

 He was trying to "climb" this lil flowering tree:)

 Uh oh, he made a BOOM when he was running!
He hurries up and checks his knees when he falls to make sure there's "no blood"!
He's had several owies all ready this spring from running and falling!

 Looooove it ♥

Here are both the monkeys hanging around our maple tree...

My oldest WOULD NOT give me a smile at all... stinker!!

  Well at least he looked at me this time! 

Cool shot of up into the tree...
Beautiful... full of spring and life!
I almost want to frame this pick, Love it!

*I REALLY want to get a NEW good camera here SOON but I will need to wait till the Fall. I LOVE to take photos and wish I had a good lens to zoom in better on pics.*
.................................

Remember the hutch I got from GW?
Here it is BEFORE...


And here it is after...
Nothing too fancy... YET! 
Just added a couple of my plates, some apple/gingerbread decor and this sweet apple teapot hubby bought me a couple years ago...
We are getting ready to repaint soon in the boys bedrooms, our bedroom (YELLOW!!) and I think the kitchn too. I'd like to do a yellow in there as well, but we will have to wait and see!

Thanks for visiting today ♥

I haven't bought any yet. It is still pretty cool here, especially at night. I can't wait!

I am looking for a hutch exactly like that. Where did you get it?

Unknown said...

The kids are cute & the flowers are beautiful!

We're going to do some planting this weekend--I hope! The hutch looks good. The boys are so cute!

Such cute little monkeys you have hanging around the trees! hehe Adorable pictures. Our stores aren't even selling plants yet since it's not safe to plant anything until at least the start of June, as there's still a chance of frost until then. Love all your planters...I'm actually thinking of making a potted garden this year, just have all the plants in pots instead of in the ground. That way you can move them around to make different groupings:-)

Just love your hutch, what a great find!! I need to paint my bedroom, as well as the living room...trying to decide what colours I want, sick of just plain white! lol xoxo
