I Love Spring!

Here's a picture of our backyard. This last weekend was absolutely beautiful and felt just like summer. (We're in search of a riding lawnmower--if anyone knows someone who's in the market to sell. I think we're a little late in the game and will probably end up paying more now than just a few weeks ago, but I guess it's spilt milk.) Since before we bought a house Chris and I have talked about this idea we have of hosting neighborhood events in our backyard. Until yesterday, we've been stuck on the idea of having Movie Night and projecting a family movie onto the side of our house. We'd tell people to bring a picnic, blankets, chairs and of course, their friends! I actually got this idea from the Kenilworth neighborhood at Halloween. A house in this neighborhood shows Two Thousand Leagues Under the Sea every year in all of it's creepiness. They project it onto the side of their house as people walk around and check out the other decorations. Anyway, no scary movies at our place. We'd probably show classics mostly. It's been on our mind now that summer is around the corner. Last night though, Chris suggested we host volleyball games and the like. We do have a perfect place in our yard that is just about the dimensions of an official volleyball court. We'll keep you posted! If you have any thoughts or a vote as to movie or games, we want to hear them! Feel free to post a comment.
