School's out. Yeah! The first week of summer was absolutely fanstastic. The kids saw their cousins practically every single day, spent the night at Grandpa's house, stayed up way too late, had friends over, made $15 at their lemonade stand (can you believe that!), slept in, swam, and so much more. I love summer. I hope it goes by slowly.
As for me, I got the wild idea to paint my kitchen nook. I saw a picture of a beautiful dining room and decided that's what I wanted my eating area to look like. Off to home depot I went. It is now a rich chocolate brown with white crown moulding, a white chair rail and white baseboards. I even put the moulding up too - with Troy's help after a disasterous run in with the liquid nails. I am NOT a painter. In fact, I hate painting, so I have patted myself on the back several times for actually tackling and completing this assignment. (The last time I painted, I stopped before completing the job and hired professionals - pitiful)
I have purposefully ignored my to do list and barely kept up on the business responsibilities - it's summer time for me too. So tomorrow, I will put on my "responsible Michelle" hat and get the real tasks done.

Um...pictures??? pictures??? pictures??? I am so proud of you tackling this job. Yeah for you! I don't like to paint necessarily, but I love the finished project. You are awesome!!
Looks great! I love projects too, but I am not sure where I put that "responsible Emily" so I guess I will just leave that hat off for now. Love you guys!
