Painting

Our kitchen and entry way were yellow. It wasn't bad, but we weren't totally in love with the color. In the kitchen it had the same tone as the cabinets and wood floors. Barrett really wanted to repaint, so we got serious. We had paint chips up all over for weeks. We finally narrowed it down, bought a few samples, then picked a color and bought the paint. We were so paranoid and taped everything! We primed it first and it took forever. If we didn't have kids that needed us, then we probably could have worked faster. I ended up taking everyone to Chick-fil-A for dinner so Barrett could finish. By the time the kids were in bed, we had to talk ourselves into pulling out the paint color. We were a pretty good team. At 2 in the morning, the color looked ocean blue and we were super nervous, but in the morning, it looked beautiful!! We still have to do another coat...maybe:)

Hannah kept herself busy at the paint store while we picked out paint chips.

 Taping, taping, and taping!

 Tommy loved helping screw in the outlets.

The kids had fun helping us take all the tape off and we made the biggest tape ball, which looked more like a mountain (there it is in the bottom right corner)!
