A few weeks ago our good friends who also happen to be our neighbors (Julie & Laura) gave us the best hand-me-down I've ever gotten in my entire life. A plastic picnic table.
I know, I know, I'm easy to please. I decided instead of putting it in the garage and dragging it out once in awhile... that I'd set it up on the front porch and leave it there all summer long.
And can I just say.....I LOVE.... love... LOVE having a table on the front porch.
The front of the house is in the shade so we dont have to battle the sun in our shade-less back yard and we have all the pretty flowers on the porch. For those of you who know me well, you know how much I adore having a swing on the front porch and have probably talked to every person I know from a porch swing at some point in my life (even if it was just me on the phone with you). There is just something about sitting and swinging and talking with your friends and family. so you can just imagine how much I enjoy having a table right next to my swing.
The kids were absolutly giddy at the idea of eating outside
But we dont just eat there, we go out there to color, watch a thunderstorm, read...you name it we are gonna try it at the "alfresco table" and the best part is that clean up is LITTERALLY squirting everything down with the hose!
Funny side note, everytime we eat out there I say "I just love dinning alfresco" and EVERY stinking time Alex asks me "what's Alfresco?" so on the 4th night out there, I knew before i said it that he would ask and had joked with Theo about it, so when I said it and he asked ...Theo and I got to giggling so hard that I thought one of us was gonna fall out of our seats! Darn kids! :)
(Next time you see Alex ask him what Alfresco means) hehehe
