Our newest project, part 3 of 5...

I know what you're thinking, the title says part 3 of 5 and you have no idea where parts 1 and 2 got to. Well, we haven't done parts 1 or 2 yet. Let me explain.

We are fixing up our back porch for the summer. We are painting, refinishing, buying new things and putting it all together. Today, we had to skip right to step 3 (the purchasing of the new things step) because Frank is ridiculously impatient and couldn't wait until we did parts 1 and 2 first. So off we went this morning. First we went to Selinsgrove to the mall. We looked around all the stores at the grills and patio furniture. Of course, i had to look for things for Mady too, but that's a whole other post. We didn't like anything at the mall, so we went to Target and Kohl's next. We liked things there, but we still wanted to look around. By we, i mean Frank of course. Then we left Selinsgrove and drove all the way to Bloomsburg to go to Lowe's and Home Depot. Of course, we went from Lowe's, to Home Depot, to Big Lots (where we ended up getting our patio furniture, the same set we were going to get at Lowe's, for cheaper), and then back to Lowe's. When all was said and done, we ended up buying a new carseat for the Yukon, a new table for out back, 4 new chairs for the table, and a new grill (which was way to expensive, but of course my spoiled brat husband had to have it his way).

I am so tired now, i just want to crawl into bed and sleep for days...but of course Mady slept the whole way home so she is wide awake and wanting to play.

Stay tuned for the other parts of our re-finish, and of course pictures to accompany.
