Eric and I have lived in an apartment since we got married 2 years ago. I don't know if I'm being silly here, but lately I have been hating apartment living. Maybe hate is a strong word; I'm just getting sick of having people walk by and glance in our windows, hearing the scuffles and squeaks of our upstairs neighbors, headlights shining in our bedroom window, the long walk from my parking spot to the front door (with an easily distracted 18 month old, this can be very difficult) and the grumpiest neighbors ever. (How 2 old ladies, a man and teenager fit in a 2 bedroom apartment I'll never know) I could go on and on but the thing that I dislike the most is not having a backyard to let Kollin go out and play in. He LOVES to be outside. We had been wanting to do something to spruce up the patio area so I can let Kollin go outside and play on something other than rocks and cement and so Eric and I can be out there with him and actually enjoy it so... this past weekend we made some minor improvements!
This is what it all used to look like.

This is what it looks like now.



We went to Home Depot and bought some cheap Adirondack chairs and some wood chips to lay down. It was just what I needed to make me feel a little more jazzed about living in an apartment until November. Oh and Kollin loves it too!
That looks great! I love Kollin in his cute chair too!!
