{Spring} It On!

YaY!   Finally...a warm, sunny {very windy} Spring day paid us a long-overdue visit!



Elizabeth was excited to air out her little piggies...ha!


She had a front-row seat to Alex and Emily's tennis match...


They were quite entertaining!


{Emily is wearing her ice-skating outfit because she also had practice today...but honestly...she would wear it any day of the week too!}


After ice-skating...we decided to take their game to the courts...




They are both taking lessons and I can't wait until we can really get a good match going!  {That is, after they teach me everything they know first!}

I am loving this weather...so I was inspired to bring a little bit of the outdoors in!

{literally!}
I love Pottery Barn and this look...so I literally went outside and dragged these chairs in from the rain the other day!



I love Pottery Barn much better...but our wallets don't love the prices...therefore...go outside and drag chairs in!


{Once again...notice Snowball...always claiming her space, ha!}


I'm happy with how it looks {for now} and I like our table...but I wonder if Dan would notice if I painted it...maybe a creamy white or a dark brown stain...hmmmm...what d'ya think?


And...because I'm always moving things around or looking for things to paint...



...this little birdie got a Spring makeover and found a new perch in our family room...



I love that it now matches my mom's childhood rocker!   They fit perfectly into the family!

{oh...and I painted the star on the mantle white!  It used to be red and it was part of the Christmas decor...but I thought it should stay out all year!}

We are so happy to see Spring!

  1. I love Pottery Barn too. I think your idea to paint is a great idea. Paint gives everything a new feel. I say go for it. Love the piggies airing out. LOL Too cute and so sweet. What a fun sport for the kids to play...I always wanted to take up tennis. Never too late, right?
    Have a great week.
