Gotta Make it Purdy

by Lisa on July 7, 2010

Today was a big day in the Pennington household.

Our backyard project made a giant leap forward….

The kids and I watched all day.  In the heat.  Outside.  Heat.

Piles and piles of stuff coming out of boxes.

Three hours later……

Here it is.  If you can’t see it, it’s the tiny thing on the left.

This is only the first part of the project.  Somehow I’ve gotta make it pretty.

Here’s a before and after…..I had to back up a lot to get the whole pool in the picture.

This weekend, Lord willing, we start building the deck around it.

Thanks for commenting on my blog. I don’t know how you’ve lived without a pool. It’s the only way to entertain my AZ kids.

Loved that first comment! Maybe you are going to fast for hubby! :)
Enjoy that pool. Even we have a small one in MN that they love for those few really HOT days! I thought everyone in TX had one! HA!

Lori – everything I do is too fast for hubby. He’s used to it. ;)

Autumn – Haley is welcome here anytime. Just make sure she knows that I put the kids to work before they get to swim. Even company. :)

love it, we would love to get one, but it is far down the list. Can’t wait to see your deck and hear about all the fun you are having.

Have a great week

OOOOH! I can’t wait! I’ve got my goggles and flippers ready!
I can do handstands!
At least I used to be able to…hmmm… better not brag about that.
Anytime you are stopping by/through Greenville/Columbia, SC or Atlanta, you must come see us!!
We have plenty of room, too!
I’ll take you rummaging with me!
Hugs,
