Guest Room: Painted!

Jen paints in the guest roomThis weekend we tackled one of the few remaining rooms we need to work on at the house: the guest room. We've done minor work before (curtains, closet knobs, etc), but never actually painted. When Jen's mom visited about a month ago, she helped take down the ugly loon border paper around the ceiling (thanks, Alice!!). That left a gross line around the top of the wall that demanded a paint job.

On Saturday I touched up a few holes and then we primed the top to cover over any residual border paper glue. We let it dry while we went to the Wilson's BBQ to meet new their baby, Danny. On Sunday we got up and got to work painting! The color Jen chose came out beautiful! It is a slight shade of lavender. What else would we put in "the princess room"?

Jack's First Post

Daddy said I could blog, so here I go.
I've been really busy lately. The geckos are running rampant in the yard. It's a hard job to keep their population in check. But it's fun to play with them. For some reason Mommy & Daddy yell at me when I bring them a gecko as a present.
This morning was really exciting. There was a squirrel on the food thing that the birds come to. But I scared him away.
I pulled a good one on Azriel the other day. She was sitting on Mommy's lap on the couch. I walked underneath them & tapped Az on her butt. Mommy screamed & Az hissed and ran away. It was a great day.
Blogging is a lot of work. I have to go take a nap in my cat tree. Meow!!!
