Paint and Gates

The boys rooms are almost complete. Pebble Grey and Graphite Gray for B and Skywriter blue for little bro. A few clouds left to paint on Baby G's wall and a Big "B" on well.... Big B's wall. My other project at the moment is my "picture wall" in the middle of our stairs. Ah yes.... we have stairs. Wasn't a big deal to me that we did until I tried getting a baby gate for said stairs. Finding one to fit the top of the stairs has been a challenge to say the least. We're on gate #4 I believe. But, we're getting it worked out and soon the little guy can run around a bit more freely when he's on the 2nd floor. Maybe we can avoid tumble #2 down the stairs. Poor guy. Anyhow, the picture wall is almost finished. The paint color for the wall is Fireside Red. A somewhat daring choice for me, but my new neighbor suggested I try it after I commented on her lovely red walls in her dining area and I love it! I believe it was paint sample #9.

Pictures to come when the rooms/walls are done!

 

Settling In

Good evening friends!
The kids are in bed and I thought I might update you on the happenings of the Thomas family as of late....

We are moved in to the house and getting settled. Its just perfect! Well.... imperfectly perfect I guess. We have already locked ourselves out of the house, had to replace the water heater and are about to have to replace the oven range (both things we were not aware of when we bought the house), but we LOVE the house, the neighborhood, and everything as a whole! We are meeting neighbors, making friends at the playground, walking the block in the evenings, and playing in the sprinkler to cool down in our own yard at night! The subdivision pool is next on the list according to Big B.

Have a great weekend- I plan to update much sooner rather than later!
