Kitchen Project...Boom, Roasted!

On Monday morning I decided I was ready for my painting project to be done so I painted all day and finished. My friend took my kids for 6 hours that day so I could paint without interruption. I think I finished around 6:30 that night. PHEW! That project was a big one. So glad it's done! It's not perfect but it's good. I'm really happy. My homemade chalk paint on my bar stools didn't work and the paint is chipping so that is annoying! I'm not going to worry about it for a long while. We'll see how ghetto it starts looking in the upcoming months. It may have to be a spring project.

On Tuesday I vacuumed my van and cleaned out the garage and raked leaves. I finally didn't have the kitchen project on my plate so I could take care of some things around the house that were driving me crazy. That night I went to the late night movie The Visit with my sister in law Anna. My sister in law Jory had been begging for me to see it since October because she loved it. It's a scary movie she actually likes. I didn't think it would be scary at all since Disney movies are a bit intense for Jory. Man was I wrong! It was scary! But I will clarify it's not evil scary hence why Jory liked it. Anyway if you like scary movies you should definitely see it. It's coming out in January and I think I'm going to make a bunch of people watch it at my house. That night I didn't sleep all night! My adrenaline was pumping. I finally got up at 3:00 in the morning and started reading a book and that shut down my adrenaline but I did continue to think about it or dream about it all night. Wait, why do I like scary movies again? And why do I want to watch it again? I don't know but I do! Ha.  

The next day I felt awful and had a bad headache, maybe it was because of the crazy lack of sleep the night before or the painting and cleaning marathons from the previous days? Who knows but I felt awful. I took a two hour nap that afternoon and felt a lot better after that.

On Thursday while I was driving my kids to dance class I started playing name that tune with them. I would start humming a song and they would yell out, "jingle bells" or whatever it was. They loved it and they were laughing so hard and screaming out sing another one! When I starting humming I am a child of God Gabby yelled out the title and then said, "that's my favorite song ever!" Moments like that are the BEST! There's nothing better than when you are having genuinely good times with your kids. It just really makes all of the stress of parenting worth it. Plus when I got Gabby out of the car she thanked me about something and then said that I was the best mom she could ever have. So cute! Love!

On Friday Scott and I went to an ugly sweater party. Duh I should have taken pictures. Well I'll just tell you that Gabby was shopping with me and the sweater I picked out was the one that Gabby found because she thought it was pretty. To a 5 year old girly girl it is pretty, to an adult it is hideous. We always have a good time at my friend Jen's ugly sweater party.

Well that's about all.
