Progress


Things are progressing upstairs which is just wonderful! My dad was up the other day and got the first coat of pain in what will be Patrick's room. After a few trips to the paint store and several horrid color choices I finally picked out a color that I like. I had even tried to fix the old paint and was hoping it would grow on me. Each time I went up to that room though I said "I hate this color." There was no learning to love the color. Jason's parents are here this weekend so this morning Jason and Ted got the subfloor down in Patrick's room. No more squishy floor. Now they are working on the bench seat that will cover the heating duct. I really have the itch to get carpet in there now! I also picked up the paint for the loft area and that paint is slowly getting on the walls. It is the same color that is in the family room but it looks a little darker upstairs. I still like the way it looks. Yeah, progress!

WOW! That looks like a lot of work but really awesome. I love home improvement projects as long as I can be the boss. That space looks perfect for a little boy. And that little boy is a cutie!! Great job with the potty training. My least favorite thing about parenting. My 2 year old is showing some interest and I find myself not ready to push it. I have to sike myself up for all the work that is involved. I love the post about the smoothie in the nose. My boys have shoved peas up there. Peas don't desove very well. I had to chose another veggy to serve at dinner time. Silly boys! Boys are crazy! I'm so glad we reconnected. I love your blog and keep them coming. I can't wait to see how that bedroom turns out.
