Shopping

I went into town today to get some chairs for my porch and ended up finding the perfect chairs. My sister was also going into town so we met and were able to shop together which I love. I bought 3 chairs, they are dark wicker and beautiful. I also bought a mat for the door and a cute carpet for the porch. I bought flowers and plastic pots in an assortment of colors and a little plastic table. I washed the porch floor and set up all my new things and I love how it looks. I had no seating outside when I wanted to chat on the phone or just hang out on the porch and now I do and have already enjoyed it quite nicely tonight.

I also bought a bbq that was on sale. I know this is unbelievable but this is the first bbq that I have ever owned. I am so excited. It is beautiful and huge. I can't wait to grill some hamburgers and hot dogs and invite my sister and her family to join us (and my parents when they are in town).

The kids are outside playing baseball. Mom you will be sad to learn that I forgot to buy them a new bat at the store today so Nick cut a new branch from a tree to use. The kids were thrilled because he stripped the bark and is letting them use his batting gloves when they are up to bat. It is past their bedtimes and they still need to take showers but I can't bring myself to call them in because  I can here all the fun they are having. I will remember to get them a bat soon.

Well, I am going to go outside and watch the kids play and then drag them in for showers now.

I will write more later.
