a picture i love... and a sneak peek (have i mentioned i like to paint)

this would be the picture I love...

and this would be the sneak peak... the master bathroom is in progress.

fine, i'll admit it... i color my hair

of course if you really know me, i don't color my hair!  this is what happens when ceiling paint splatters while painting... so, unless your salon carries sherwin williams colors you are out of luck.  oh, it's sw refuge at 50%.   

 john david left for a quick trip... the children and i were still in bed.  15 minutes later we were dressed and headed out the door.  that's how i decide things get done.  hey guys, let's paint today; it wont take mommy long.  famous famous words! 

 and, anytime the camera is put down, this girly picks it up and starts snapping away.   

 little man helping put the room back together. 

 daddy called about an hour before we were expecting him to let us know he was about 15 minutes away.  oh, boy... this was all the stuff in the hallway.  the children hustled to get this stuff back in place so it would be all nice when he walked in.  later in the week while the children were at school, the builder beige was painted over with sherwin williams pure white.  seriously, white paint is, well, white.  one last look at the remaining inch of beige.   

p.s.  your arms will be sore the day after painting your ceiling.  so will your legs from many, many trips up the ladder to paint a small section, then down the ladder to move it over. 

what the children do while i am painting

the past few months i have been painting a lot. so, how do the children entertain themselves while i am in project mode?

this is her paint wheel

m2 and i were heading out the door to take the children to school. "wait ma, i need my paint wheel". she grabbed the colorful deck of waterproof uno cards and ran for the car. ahh, that's my girl. and yes, she is so busy that she shortens mama to ma... like, little house on the prairie ma. where's my bonnet?
