1. We stained the deck last weekend! We wanted the UV protection you obtain thru staining, but wanted it to be as natural looking as possible. We went with a cedar color (which is the type of wood our deck is made of) and I think we ended up with exactly what we wanted! It is very natural and looks similar to a brand new deck vs. a stained deck. Nick (not the fan of painting/staining) kept an awesome attitude throughout the whole process (given it was my idea to stain the deck) and Neve took at 4+ hour nap so we got most of it done while she was sleeping. Ellie was our supervisor after she woke up from her nap. She kept asking if we were almost done...
2. Excluding the deck staining, we had a low keep weekend and focused on having us girls recover from our colds. Nick, of course, started his cold on Sunday afternoon. He has been pretty miserable this week.
3. Ellie and I had a lunch date on Wednesday. I love being able to have that one-on-one time with her and it is so convenient with day-care being in the same building as me!
4. Neve and Ellie are on vacation at Grandma and Grandpa's house! I am sure they are having a great time and being spoiled!
5. We are on our way to Wisconsin for Dave Matthews Band concerts! I think this is the 5th time we have gone to the two day concert event at Alphine Valley. We have always gone with the Beltman's and this time there will be 5 couples total. Oh, did I mention that we are camping??? The only time Nick can get me to camp! Should be a fun time.
