Patio Project

While the boys were in camp today I got a bee in my bonnet to do a little home improvement project. More specifically for my patio. I wish I had a before picture of what this place looked like when we moved in 6 1/2 years ago (not impressive at all). As the kids have gotten older, the patio has evolved. The patio garden is now another living space. We have awnings that hang over the whole area and cut the heat down.
This space used to be all of the small gray rocks, but then I moved them to the other side. It has housed DIRT for the past two years- a place for the kids to play or just get muddy. Now that we have the dog I didn't want the dirt any more- I know it seems a little anal with all those rocks lined just so, but I think it looks really clean!
I wasn't originally planning to put pavers in this area, but after I did the other side I felt like they should match- What do you think? I love my yard now.
My body was so sore after doing this project (in one afternoon). Each of those pavers weighs at least 5 pounds and I moved 26 of them from Home Depot on to the cart, to my car, from my car to the back yard and then into place (OUCH!!)
