Duck Season is Offically Over!!!

I happened to be walking through Wal-Mart Saturday afternoon getting a few things when I walked by the domestics area and a flurry of colors caught me eye. A light bulb went off and I said, I am going to repaint kids' bathroom and I couldn't resist the too cute multi stripe shower curtain. I came home paint swatches in hand and showed them to John, who seemed pretty enthused I guess, and we picked a color. Okay, it really wasn't that simple. I kept bugging him asking him what he thought of 3 different shades of green. I thought one was kind of minty, the other maybe too bright and so on. Well he grabbed two swatches from my hand threw them on the ground, looked back at my hand and said that one, let's use that one. What did I do? Looked at him like he was crazy and then said, yeah I really like this one too. After church on Sunday, the kids and I went and got the paint, wall paper remover, and a few accessories. I took all of the border off Sunday afternoon and cleaned the walls. Monday morning bright and early I tackled the job. It really wasn't too bad. I had already painted this room once four years ago when we adopted the duck motif. Here is the kicker though, I am almost finished with the second coat on the main part of the bathroom when a realtor calls and wants to show the house in 45 minutes. Talk about Super Woman, I don't think have ever moved so fast in my entire life to clean up a paint mess along with the rest of the house. Hope you like it!!

WOW!!! That is a lot of work! I've had paint cans sitting in the garage for 3 days calling my name and I've done nothing about it. Thanks for the motivation to get on it!
