Getting ready for the summer

After few months of debating and getting few high quotes for installing a screened in porch, we decided to go ahead and stick with the gazebo.

The old one was destroyed during the microburst of August 2015 and we needed something pretty and functioning for this summer.

The deck got a new coat of paint, Andrzej put up the gazebo and we splurged on the new patio set. The old one was falling apart and lacking one chair.

I must say I am very happy with the outcome and so far this is my favorite room for the summer !

My turn

It happened again; my birthday. Those yearly special events seem to come more often than before.
Strange thing is the time.

Children's Day



The breakfast in bed was requested for this occasion.
Unfortunately one riser had to get to school early so she enjoyed breakfast after school.
Some got presents, some are still waiting for it, because Zootopia is being released a week after; it seems to be very likable movie here. :)

The swimmer

 

The mornings last weekend ended up in the pool for Zuzia and for Andrzej as the spectator and the biggest fan:)
I would like to see her racing too, but waking up the rest of the pack would be considered an accomplishment and by the time we all would be ready, Zuzanna most certainly would be done with her races.
So I just settled down for the phone calls with the updates.
She did really well and we are heading with her to the New England US swimmers competition in July. She is going to race in 50m breaststroke. She has one more chance to make it also in 100m breaststroke.
We are really proud of her and her work!

Sandbox

Somebody had his little sandbox enlarged. The trucks needed more space and more sand.

 

 

I, on the other hand, took advantage of the free wood planks and made some planters.

Andrzej said that they won't last long due to the fact that the wood was already old and weathered but I will enjoy my eye for the time being :)

Feeling like summer!

What better than running half naked through the sprinklers in summer like weather?
Not much :)
Hello summer!!!

The bunnies

 

 

Look what I have discovered under the kids playset!?

 A couple of awfully cute wild bunnies!

They are patiently waiting for their mommy. I have covered them with grass to protect them against the sun and predators. There are a couple of cats wandering about...
