painting day #2

The painting is finished.

We decided we didn't have enough time to paint the living room 

last week with Joel's party and everything else that was going on.

So, yesterday James came over and we started on the living room.

(Yes, my brother-in-law is fantastic. He takes pictures and helps me paint!)

It took us most of the day.

Levi wasn't too happy about his little tiny corner that we restricted him too.

I don't know why he didn't like playing among the chaos!?

We had finished everything but the little room off the living room 

when James had to leave.

After Levi went to bed I finished the second coat in that room.

I stayed up way too late and I am definitely feeling it right now.

So, today I am trying to get my house back into some sort of order.

The new color is fabulous.

It is so bright and clean looking...which is what I was going for.

And now the hard part.

Getting everything hung on the walls.

At least that is the hard part for me.

I have new curtains to hang.

I also need to switch out pictures and find a place for all of those picture frames.

I think it is time to put a few of Cora's pictures away 

and put out more pictures of Levi.

We will always keep up Cora's pictures, but Levi needs some room too.

Ugh. I hate hard changes.

I had a few questions about the bbq decorations. I am going to try to answer them in a post later tonight, so if you are wondering about anything we did for Joel's party leave a comment.
