The Never Ending Story

We had a "snow day" a couple weeks ago and being the slave driver I am... I sent Daniel to Lowes on his way home from work Thursday evening so that we could spend our "snow day" putting up bead board in the kitchen. 
We actually got quite a bit of it done Thursday night and of course had to make a run back to Lowes Friday morning.  We had it all done by Friday night though and didn't even have to use our weekend for projects.  We did this in our old house too and lets just say we have come a long way.  

*As far as the snow goes... I guess it got a little too warm and so all it did was freeze some roads but that didn't stop Kinleigh from being ecstatic when she woke up and saw some snow flurries on the roofs of the houses around us.*

 

Seeing how I am "nesting" I couldn't wait to paint the kitchen.  Levi and I went the next week to pick up the paint and on Tuesday I decided to just start painting around the doors, floor board, cabinets, and chair rail.  I spent 7 hours doing this.  Where was Levi you ask?  Same place he usually is... right beside me chatting away.  He did watch a tiny bit of TV (he is getting better at that) and of course took a nice long nap for me. 

The next day I went against my husbands wishes and borrowed a tall ladder from Mark and Rosie.  Once Levi went down for a nap I started painted near the ceiling so that I could have all the little details done when Daniel did the main rolling.  I still managed to be the "domestic stay at home Mom" and had the house clean, dinner on the table, and painted both days.  I'm pretty sure dinner even tasted better those two nights :).  Probably because I felt bad that I was doing as Daniel asked me not too... going up and down a tall ladder all day.  This nesting phase can be a blessing and a curse.  Of course we ran out of paint Wednesday night and had to finish  Thursday night.  I LOVE MY KITCHEN!!!
