No matter what you put in here, the basic organizational concept will stay the same!.

These photos were taken last week, which show a huge change from the.photos I showed.

you that were taken just a week before.The shrubs need trimming, the siding needs a good power wash, but aren’t those little flowers on the maple trees pretty?.These purple crocuses are out now along with the white ones.. More trimming needed here I see!.

This lilac bush is starting to fill in nicely.Chris decided to rip out this fence around the back of the house last weekend so we can have this big sloping lawn.

While he was at it, he threw together this sandbox for Kennedy.

I’m picturing a little path leading down to it and maybe a tire swing?Someone else on Hometalk mentioned that there are things you should never use rubbing alcohol on.. It’s experiment time!

I decided to try the rubbing alcohol Sharpie cleaning trick on some common surfaces around here (since we’re going to be renovating it all anyway) and tell you how it went!.I started out on our laminate counter top.

Kennedy seems to enjoy coloring elaborate pictures on there that somehow escape the paper.. A little rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and it melted away!This one’s a keeper!.
