We have been busy whipping our back yard into shape again. In Texas, there is a little window of opportunity between when it's too chilly outside to play and when it's so doggone HOT outside that you can barely breathe. During this "window" I try to get the boys outside as much as possible. We've unfortunately lost a whole bunch of shrubs in the back, along the fence line, due to the horrible drought. I was planning on (dreading) replacing them. Now, I'm thinking I may do THIS instead. Check out the awesome Outdoor Chalkboard featured on Apartment Therapy. My kids would LOVE this! I especially like the little bucket filled with chalk - too cute! The grand total was about $100, so I'm thinking that's waaaay cheaper than replacing a full fence line of hedges! And this may occupy the boys for about 10 minutes or so. Hey, I'll take all the help I can get - summer is rapidly approaching and I am scrambling for ways to entertain them when they're home 24/7! Go HERE for all the details on how you, too, can do this. Be sure to read the comments section, too.
