Evie has been really into cleaning stuff up lately. On Monday night she found this broom in our pantry and walked around trying to sweep stuff up for quite a while. Then we went outside to look at our almost finished deck and she was picking rocks and clumps of mud (from the posts) and handing them to us. On top of her using papertowels to wipe at the floor and trying to assist with the dishes, she is turning into a pretty excellent little housekeeper. Chores, anyone?
Our deck was finished on Tuesday and it looks great--we are sooo excited to have it done in time for summer! Evie loves stomping around on it and making lots of fun noises. She also wants to go down the stairs on her own but she doesn't have a good technique yet! We got some cute furniture for it, courtesy of nana and grandpa, and Evie even has her own picnic table (which she unfortunately thinks is a climbing toy and tries to stand on). Sorry the pictures are dark--I think they were taken at about 9 p.m. last night.
Our only question is what is up with the weird white vents?!?!? They were not on our building plan or ever mentioned. Apparently Columbus has a policy that the deck must be vented (fine) but this metal, usually seen indoors style venting is too odd. We are trying to see what our other options are. No one I've asked has ever seen something like this on a deck, so not sure how we were chosen as guinea pigs for it!
And here's the furniture. We also have a similar sized space that is open from the back door to the grill (can sort of see the grill cover on far left) so we figure we can have lots of fun on the deck in years to come. I really like the red with our dark gray house--GO BUCKS!

Very nice! The picnic table with umbrella is too cute! Where did you get your patio/deck furniture?

Looks great! Can't wait to see it in person. Evie can help Nana clean this summer! (Enjoy...before she realizes it's "housework!")
