Painting the Nursery!

This weekend, Ashley and Wayne came to paint the nursery.  Well, actually, it was just Ashley and Charlotte on Friday and then Wayne and Nathan came on Saturday because Nathan had a soccer game.  Chris had been working on getting his office cleared out all week.  He did so much but on Thursday night, the office furniture was still in the room.  He said he would move it out on Friday or have Ashley help him.  I got home from school on Friday and wanted to straighten up a bit before Ashley got here.  I was on the phone with Ashley when she asked me what all we needed to do before she and Chris could start painting.  I told her just clear out the furniture that's left....but as I told her that I walked into the office and saw that everything had already been cleared out, the tarp was layed out on the floor and all of the paint and supplies were in there ready to go!  I had no idea Chris had already done it all that morning!!!  He took the day off and cleared moved the furniture out of the room AND listed most of it on Craigslist and had it taken away.  I couldn't believe he did all of this that morning!  Chris also totally organized our garage.  He got shelving to organize all of our things in the garage and gave away other old furniture.  Our garage looks awesome!!!!  So, when Ashley and Charlotte got here, I took over Charlotte and Chris and Ashley got to work painting!




The nursery looks beautiful!!  It's a light blue color.  You'll have to wait to see pics of the nursery when the furniture comes in!  Chris and Ashley stayed up until midnight painting.  They decided they wanted to get the two coats painted that night so that we could all just relax and have fun on Saturday!  So, on Saturday, me, Ashley, and Charlotte went to lunch at Cheesecake Factory and did some other shopping before Wayne and Nathan came.

While we were getting ready to go out to lunch, Charlotte decided she need to put makeup on just like Mommy.  She thinks she's in trouble :)

I said in a very serious voice, "Oh, Charlotte, did you get in mommy's makeup?" 

Then I told her she is a pretty baby and she liked hearing that :) 

After I got the makeup off of her, I got her dressed and we went outside for a little photo shoot.  She is the sweetest thing because she will do exactly what you ask her to do. 

Then I took her picture in the grass.  Isn't she so pretty??? 

Then mommy joined us.  Pretty mommy and pretty baby! 

Ok, no more pictures :) 

After we got back from lunch and running a few errands, this little guy was waiting for us!  He and Otis are buddies.  Nathan is always so sweet to Otis and Otis loves Nathan.  Nathan played and played with Daisy, too! 



For dinner, we had barbecue and Uncle Chris got Nathan dessert.  He loved his ice cream cone!  By the time Nathan finished this, he was a mess!   


We had fun watching the Rangers play and by the end of the night, this little guy was all tuckered out!

  2. I love the pictures of ChaCha in her makeup! Her little face just says, "Uh,oh! I'm in big trouble!" Then when you told her she's a pretty baby, she looks so relieved!! She IS so pretty. Actually, I think she looks just like Pam. I've always thought that, but she's looking more and more like her to me.

    I think that the ice cream cone outfit is one that I gave her last year. It looks really sweet on her. You will be so-o-o lucky if Pearce takes after Charlotte in her mood and personality! But, don't depend on it. After all, HE IS A BOY!!! They're not bad, just different (and active!!). After all, Nathan is a sweetie, too. Just ask Otis!

    I can't wait to see the job that Ashley and Chris did in the nursery. The crib bedding should be in by the end of next week, and then the furniture will be soon after that. The time is just flying by!

    Hugs,

    PS -- Thanks, Ashley, for all you've done! Painting is definitely a "labor of love!" I know it's going to be a wonderful room.
