Pictures of Paint Job!

Here are the pictures of our recent paint job. Please pardon the clutter. We were in a state of chaos relocating stuff during the paint process, and will remain so until the paint cures over the next few days and carpet installation is completed on Thursday (wahoo!).

living room before:


living room during:


dining room before:


dining & living rooms after:

(yes, both red, but a more potent one.  The old paint looked pink as he was applying the new paint)

kitchen before:


kitchen after:


computer nook before:


computer nook after:  

(notice how the different colors work with the vinyl.  The blue has bugged me since we moved in)


family room before:


family room after:


I know you didn't get a great look at the living room or the family room.  When I get pictures etc. back up and clutter put away, I'll post better pics.

Three Cheers

I had a proud Mommy moment today when I went to pick David up from gymnastics and his teacher recommended that David move up to the Advanced Skills class for his age group.  Last week he figured out how to get to the higher of the uneven bars, much to her surprise.  She said she's never had a 4-year-old figure that out on their own.  That's my monkey!!
