a weekend list. of sorts.

1.  This weekend we worked many long hours, with a handful of friends by our sides, painting and caring for our new house.

2.  The color “full sun” is not an overstatement in the name.

3.   Four coats of “full sun” seems excessive, but necessary.

4.  The “full sun” color on the kitchen walls has finally set.

5.  I keep forgetting to take “before” pictures, but I did take an “in between” picture.

6.  I feel a deep sense of dislike for painting the walls in the girls’ bedroom.  It’s like wainscoting all the way up the wall.  We painted lavender over white.  The work has been tedious.  I am thrilled to say the work is over.  On that room, anyway.

7.  Today I will be volunteering with WIllow’s class at pre-K.  She is thrilled.  She wants to wear a very Christmas-y looking dress her friend gave to her.  I believe I will let her.

8.  We are getting closer and closer to actually being able to move into our house – which still needs a name.

9.  Last night I forgot that I placed my hair wrap in my hair prior to my bobby-pinning the mess out of the rest of it.  Before bed I tried to take the hair wrap out first.  (And by hair wrap, I actually mean an old, very long, beaded necklace type-thing that my mom brought back from Hawaii many many years ago that I wrapped around my head twice as if it was a head band.)  Anyway, it was a painful disaster.

10.  Our dining room was this color Saturday morning.

11.  By Saturday night our dining room was a beautiful cool inlet blue.  (Who names paint colors?  Can I?)

12.  I didn’t take any “after” pictures yet either.

13.  Mosely got glasses last week.  She looks adorable.

14.  Is there a time warp that can take me from an unpacked house in one location to a packed house and then an unpacked house again in another location?
