I got the van *SO* clean yesterday, that when I got home from town today (I had forgotten that the kids had eye appts. today!), I made sure to clean it all out again, instead of putting it off!  Then, I just couldn’t stop, and started on the front porch!  Just because snow and water cover the yard, doesn’t mean I can’t tackle PART of the yard!  I still had Christmas lights and wreaths on there, and now that it isn’t freezing every night, the wreaths had started turning orange…yuck.  It looks so much cleaner now, but I won’t take the after picture until I can wash it down and try to add some color somehow.  I am going to try to find some silk flowers to spruce it up until May when I can put out real ones….

Well, I am off to fold laundry and pick up before dh gets home from town.  I can't wait to see his face when he sees the van tomorrow!

Oh, and maybe tomorrow I will post a picture of “The Lake” out front.  The ground must be thawing though, because it was down quite a bit from when we left this morning.  Still fun for the kids to play in though!
