Outdoor Stuff!

Our yard is really coming along!  Everything is in full bloom.  We even had an iris bloom over the weekend.  There are lots of other things that are coming up, roses, peonies, day lillies.  There is plenty of creeping charlie in our yard as well (very annoying weeds that take over everything) that we are constantly pulling up and spraying with weedkiller.  Chris decided to buy a grill this weekend, so we can enjoy the warm weather and entertain on the deck.  I think this will be a good way to reduce the amount of cooking I will do over the summer!  Our neighorhood had a festival, Taste of Glen Ellyn, which was surprisingly fun.  The best part about this festival is that it was within walking distance of our house, complete with rides, shopping, and food.  We did have to try the deep fried oreos, per Chris' request.  I didn't think they would be very tasty, but I did eat more than 1.   We found a fun Cubs bean bag set, to complete our outdoor games. We are looking forward to lots of fantastic outdoor parties with friends and family this summer!
