Updating The Deck Deck Goose, Part 2

Hey Monday Maniacs!!! Welcome back to another edition of ol' Never Ever Listless! Last Friday, I left you hanging in some major suspense about what other exciting updates I made to the deck and what oh what I learned about spray painting terracotta pots. Today is the day that I reveal it all!

I showed you the pallet table I made, and the pots that I spray painted yellow. When I was buying the spray paint I saw some perfect yellow pots for $6 but the spray paint was a few dollars cheaper and I really wanted to reuse the pots that I already had. So, spray paint was bought and pots were painted.

See the fancy pot situation below.

Look at those lovely pots just gleaming away near my little leg chub sweetie.

And, seriously, check out all of that beautiful green! It is like we are living Swiss Family Robinson style! How could we possibly leave this place?

Onto the terracotta mess that I created! It turns out that there is special spray paint for terracotta pots like this one. I did not notice those spray paints and went with Joe Regular Spray Paint. Well., it didn't work. About 1 month later the pots looked like this:

Not only did poor Alberta Spruce (in the middle) lose all of her yellow, but I also managed to just about kill her completely. My thumb is not green. It is yellow from all the flaking spray paint.

I went back to the store and picked up 2 of those pre-yellowed pots that I was eyeing on the first go-round.

I said the Spruce's time of death and transplanted the other two.

Much better!!!

Don't click away just yet! There's more! I also got new outdoor pillows and a new camera! Overstock.com had a pretty good discount code going a few weeks ago and I used it on some already-inexpensive pillows. Here they are!

Spring flowers even popped up to check out the cushy new seats.

I also updated something else! My camera! Wooo Hooo! I got a DSLR. I just have it set on auto right now and I'm sure it will take me some time to figure it out, but check out this photo of my babytoddler. Better quality?

Does anyone have any tips for me when learning how to use a DSLR?

My Favorite Cora Photos: Months 8-9, Part 3

Happy Saturday! I hope it is just what you want it to be- productive? relaxing? filled with a 90210 marathon? I am going to start the day out in one of my favorite ways... with a look at some photos of my sweetie babytoddler!

Aww she is not sporting nearly as much chub these days and I have to say I miss it a little bit.

Spoons were her favorite toys for a while.

Mandatory monthly photo of silly time playing with dad.

Family photo. Professionally taken, obviously.

I realize now that the huge flower clip on top of her head looks a bit silly. For some reason it made sense to me at the time. In my defense, she did need something of the sort to keep hair out of her eyes.

Silly girl!

Everyone needs one of those super upright flattest-bill-in-the-world baseball caps from the 80s. This one is from my dad's old company.

A little smile! And a baby who looks a lot like her daddy.

Lookin' good with your sweet potato, Cora!

Park blanket time!

Another of her favorite toys: keys!

Cora was not a star with the baseball bat at this point so Scott showed off his skillz.

Cora showed off her grass-eating skillz!

And her toy-eating skillz!

I cropped a lot of this photo out to minimize your Scott-rear exposure.

It might not look like it in this photo, but Scott and Cora were having so much fun here! #thebestmoments (shhhh just let the subconscious hashtag usage happen).
