Growing up with a father who fixed everything, I didn’t realize that some men don’t.? Having said that, it’s a good thing that I married a man who has been willing to learn how to do things around the house and smart enough to figure the things out that he didn’t know before hand.? Instead of spring cleaning lately (I’ll have to get to that after spring break when my house isn’t being ransacked by several children all hours of the day) we’ve been doing some well needed home improvements.? The list is very long, but we have made a great start.? We are in the process of upgrading the light fixtures in our home.? KUDOS to Marc for doing this in a timely manner without complaint (what a man).? I will post picture of the two new ones that Marc installed recently.? Also, the crazy mess you see is not the children at the beach, it is our children in our front yard (who needs San Diego?).? We have begun a relandscape of our front yard.? It will be nice to have a working sprinkler system with a non crooked brick walk up to the front door.? I hope it will not be too long before I can post the finished product for you all to see the fruits of our labor.? Again, thanks to Marc for learning how to install sprinklers and thanks to me and the children for moving brick.
