i swear i woke up on monday and said, i'm posting everyday this week.  well, it's friday and i did one post this week.  i HATE that!!  i have to be better!!  we got patio furniture and i have been out there every night this week.  maybe that's why i have been slack.  it's nothing fancy but i love having a place to gather....the kiddos like the box more then the furniture.  

i saw this picture on brooke's blog and i immediately saved it for what i wanted our back area to look like.  i want to add a window box and do a bricked- in grilling station!!  

warren painted the swing and hung it.  i got a cushion from world market...it will do for now but i would love to eventually recover it in a trina turk fabric.  please excuse the ADT sign and the lack of plants....one day we will get there!!  it's always a work in progress.  i would also love to cover the chain w/ rope.  

last but not least, i wanted to show y'all taylor's window treatment.  i showed y'all the inspiration:

and here it is in her room.....i think it turned out really cute!  now if i can just get the rest of her room together that would be great!!

i hope y'all have a wonderful mother's day!!  mom- thanks so much for being my best friend!  i love you :)  see y'all next week!
