Labor Day is for LABORING!

My children were shocked to find out they would actually be LABORING on Labor Day weekend this year..... Chris taught the boys how to powerwash the deck and then I had them out helping us waterproof and stain it.

The birds were not impressed with our efforts and had to add their part.....

We realized how much we hated the railing around our deck when we had to paint them each by hand. It was MISERABLE!!!

But after all was said and done, this is what we ended up with and it was worth all the hard work! I can't wait to see the rain bead up on this baby!
