Can anyone please help?

I have two sheds in my backyard, one old and one new, I would like to install electricity to both. I have only one electrical outlet on the exterior of my house, and it is located in the front of the house. I would like to do as much of this project myself as possible, without hiring a professional. I am not sure how to start, besides turning off all power to the house first. I do not know how to get the electricity from the main breaker in my basement, outside to the sheds or anywhere else I might want to install an outlet. My house is a split level model with a finished lower level. The sheds are approximately 30 feet from the breaker. I would like to install 1 or 2 light fixtures in each shed and 1 or 2 recepticals in each shed and on the exterior of the house. If I don't have to install the electricity directly to the breaker I would prefer that. I have a set of flood lights installed on the back exterior of the house, if I could somehow tie into this power line that would probably be ideal.

If any additional info is needed please let me know.

Thank you in advance for any and all advice.
