whatever

the new table.

since moving out to this country house we have been spending a lot more time outside.
pretty much anytime i am awake and not doing chores like cooking or cleaning... i am outside.
and the kids are too.
it is so quiet and peaceful all the time. 

we play games, play with the pets, make camp fires, eat meals, jump on the trampoline, read books.
i blog, email, and edit pictures while sitting outside.
we have music playing most of the time.
the kitten is outside... the chickens are in their coop.
sitting on our patio is the place to be.

and it just got better...
we got a new table from Trex Outdoor Furniture!!!

i am very excited to be working with them!

this table is just my style.
it is so happy & bright and we are LOVING it!

this Trex table and chairs is made from a POLYWOOD®  brand recycled plastic lumber.
it does not absorb moisture; therefore, they will not rot, splinter, or crack.
these products require no water proofing, painting or staining.

i think Trex might be the perfect solution to all outdoor furniture!
they take all the work out of it!
i love that.

it is SO EASY to clean.
we live on a dirt road with cars and trucks and tractors driving by all day long... making things super dusty.
this table wipes clean in seconds!

the way the table is built everyone has plenty of leg room.
(which is good for all of these long legs these duerksen kids are growing.)

aren't those cushions so pretty??!!
i am loving the pop of colors on the bright white chairs! 

they come in lots of different colors but this is the one that i fell in love with immediately.

spending family time outside is my favorite way to be together.

we love this table.
It's sturdy and well built.  
it is my new favorite table and chairs (and that is saying alot...remember my rainbow legs barn wood table?)

and you are going to love this...

monday...

normally after a Craft Weekend i get to sleep all day on Monday to catch up from all the missed hours over the weekend.
but not this time. 
it's summer and my kids are home ready to go go go to all their activities.
i am not sure if i am awake or not right now.

our weekend was really nice!
great helpers make everything run so smoothly...and enjoyable!

i took all these pictures last week when i was running into town to pick up scott.
i was not sure if i should be nervous or not.
it was just a really big rain storm.
i love getting to watch storms in the daylight.

i took all of these with my phone.  :)


 

 

ok... gotta run to another sporty thing.

i am so sleepy.
