Done with the Paint

Aside from some touch-ups, I am done with my random paint projects. 

Here is the before of our bathroom:

And the After:

For the past 12-18 months we have slowly been changing our kitchen.  We are still considering cabinet hardware, but aren’t sure yet.  We got a new countertop/sink, added a backsplash, went from red to orange, and changed the décor around a bit.  The lighting is odd in the after pictures, but you get the point.

Before:

  

Now:

 

The kids are really into music lately.  One day, Lincoln and Creighton were playing the drums and Kate was “dancing” to their music. 

  

Last Friday, we were excited to get to go meet Derek and Meaghan’s new little guy, Blayne.  The kids had a blast holding Blayne and playing with their dogs.  :)

   

That evening we went to Justin and Codee’s.  The kids had a great time playing together and the adults even got in some good conversation.   Thanks for having us over!!  The kids were again “into music” and made a microphone out of tinkertoys.  Creighton and Grady had a blast dancing together on the couch.

The kids got to play their leapsters one night while Mike and I cleaned up the kitchen (we have recently implemented a “no screen” rule for during the school week, so it was quite the treat for them.)  Creighton had a blast looking back and forth between them. 

 

These kids are all the best of friends.  They have really enjoyed the chance to play together again now that the weather is getting warmer and warmer.  Bethany took these on her phone one day.

  

One last picture, Creighton really favors Norah.  She spent the morning here one day and he kept walking up to her, backing up, and plopping down on her lap.  =)
