Paint, Light & Ski Bums

The attic is painted, lights are in...next is for the Hubby to get the floors scraped and painted and then we can have the trim done...and then I can finally move in. I am just dying waiting. So painful. I just hope it is done before Spring.

We went skiing last night at our little local hill. The kids are awesome. Gab and her friend were totally off on their own and had a total blast. Gavin was all over the place, we pretty much just took turns trying to keep up with him. Sean let the kids go on the chairlift BY THEMSELVES, I wasn't too keen on that but they did just fine. They all went down every kind of run, hit the jumps and made us so proud. :) Gavin says he loves the mogels and that the black diamond runs are the easiest...because the green circle runs are so slow that he has to push himself to get down them. Colorado here we come! Heehee. Maybe next year.

Playing with Picasa

My silly crazy boy, for every cute shot of him I get 3 goofy ones.

Drywall!

I've got drywall, and today, primer, and tomorrow, paint in my little attic studio. I am so excited for this to be done that I could scream! But I won't.

There is this cool little alcove in the middle back of the attic space. There will be a little doorway to the very back of the attic where there will be storage space. There will be little built in book cases in those funky little openings too. So excited.

I totally need help figuring out what to do with the floor and the stairs! The floor was painted this lovely barn red. It is now spattered with spray insulation drippings that my computer geek husband did when he put the insulation in.

After he scrapes and sands them I need to pick a paint color. Any ideas?? The walls and ceiling will be a light beige color for now. Would you go dark or light for the floors?? :)

Sickie Bug

I know it looks disturbing...but there is nothing wrong with her face. She came home from a sleepover on Saturday morning looking like this and she was totally wiped out. They had a school spirit day on Friday and she decorated her face with markers. Don'tcha love it? Anyway, it is Tuesday now and she still looks wrecked and also feels wrecked, but that is because she has pneumonia, not because of markers. Ugh! Thank you Mister Fleming for those magic anti-bug drugs...she should be back to school tomorrow! Yay for me, (and her).

OMG! Have you seen this new website, House of 3? Three of my scrapbooky, digi, artsy bloggy IDOLS have started their own little digi shoppe online. I am ecstatic because I love their stuff and now I can use it for making cards for other people. They are offering photographer's & commercial licenses. So dang cool. They also have uber cool blog couture templates...gotta pick one out but it is too hard!
