Insanity Saturday

This weekend we worked on home projects. We decided a while back that we are sick of our "disgusting pink" (as Nathan calls it) bedroom and we finally got around to changing it today. I had actually purchased the paint with my birthday money back in January. Today we made the drastic change from "disgusting pink" to marina blue. Caleb went to spend the weekend with Grandma and Papa, and Libby stayed home to help us paint.

Here are the before pictures with most of the furniture moved out.

We had the primer tinted, so we started out with a nice cool blue against the pink walls. Libby had a great time experimenting with the paint.

And more blue! Libby painted all of this herself! She was the only family member to not make a major spill or slop while painting.

I painted myself, too. I wasn't paying attention to the drastically tipping container of paint that I was holding. Voila! I got a chilly surprise when I dumped paint all down the front of myself. Painted person. And, yes, since it soaked right through, the skin under my shirt matches the paint on the outside. Yikes!

Here's Millie sleeping on top of the box springs that we being stored in Caleb's room for the day.

Libby got bored of painting when we started the real painting over the primed coat. She experimented with the camera instead. She took a few bad ones of us. The one of Nathan missing his top half cracks me up! I guess that's her point of view when she's looking at Daddy.

And here's the finished product (starring Petunia) at 11 PM this evening. Thanks to Mom and Dad for keeping Caleb! If he had been home to help us, the floor would undoubtedly have been painted blue as well.
