First, my mom, came to visit for a long weekend. She came to visit with the grandkids, but also to help me paint. I think she got a little more than she bargined for. First, I think she thought I only wanted the kitchen painted, but I wanted to paint the living room too! Second, I have never painted before, so she did most of the painting. She LET me paint the wall behind the refrigerator. I guess she thought since it was my first time, she would give me a wall that could be hidden. I'm just kidding... I could have done a lot more, but she said she was enjoying it! Third, I think by the end of her trip I was driving her nuts with , just one more spot, or can you go over it one more time. I guess it was good that she did the painting....she has to love me no matter what, I am her only daughter! THANKS MOM...
Excuse the mess you see in the pictures, we shoved everything in the middle of the room...and had 3 little helpers wanting to know when it was their turn to help.
We (she :-) ) painted the kitchen Almond Whip....
The living room Cracker Bitz... the z is very important....
And the piano (accent wall) Fire Weed...
My mom left the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. When I talked to her on Thanksgiving Day she said that they woke up to 3 inches of snow. I had to rub it in that the day before and that day were shaping up to be record highs for MD. I had to kick myself when in the afternoon a cold front rolled in. It did however, bring lots of wind so it made it fun for the kids to try to catch leaves.
On a sad note for Scott, he mowed the leaves in the yard the day before. He got about 7 bags of leaves. The next morning/afternoon it looked like he hadn't done anything. I guess thats what Fall is all about!
Jake told me that the chalk drawing he did was my name. I post this so all you can decipher 2 year old writing.

Hey,
I was able to get on this time. This is great. I feel like I am visiting you and your fam. Rachel looks more like you every day. I like your accent wall. Ken and I painted last spring. The walls are a cream color and one light brown accent wall. It has remained empty, but I really need to put a few pics on it. I have ben dabbling in photography and have some I blew up to 8x10's that will go on the wall. Bye for now.
