We are craazy!

On Monday night I got a brilliant idea to start going through the rest of our boxes in the garage that we just havent had time to go through since we moved in to our new place in Feb. Trying to motivate myself to get excited about my new activity, I stumbled across a brand new can of stain that was used for our deck. We recently had added a few additional posts to the corners of our deck in order to make it more sturdy. I grabbed a paint brush with the intention of just painting the new posts that my dad and Mitch put in but when we got outside, we realized that the deck could really use a brand new layer of stain to give it a little refresher!
Little did I know that it would take seriously hours! First we wiped down the deck and swept away any dust or leaves that had fallen and gotten stuck by the hot tub. I moved my gigantic planters and cleaned under them and put them out on the lawn. We had to move our patio furniture out on the lawn as well as learn how to turn off our sprinklers that shoot over to part of our patio and then we got started. For a while, it went really fast and we were making fairly good time, when the phone rang. Mitch had gotten called into his other job and it was going to be just me! Oh dear!!! By the end of the night, I looked like stained mess but it sure was worth it.
I finished at about 10:45 and was painting by moon light practically but I am sure glad that I stumbled across that can the other night.
