Painting Day: part 1

so, remember how the deal was: The baby's name will be McKenna if Tim gets to make the choices on the basement including but not limited to NOT painting until everything down there is all done?

He, he, too bad. It is painting day.

We had some financial detours on the parts of the basement we were going to finish, and I told Tim that the no paint contract is null and void. However, I our daughters name will still be Avery McKenna, so again, he, he, I win.

But win? is that the right word? I was up at 5:30 taping plastic to the new basement floor, and by 7 a.m. I already had a sore arm from painting. Dear me. I always think of painting as so fun, but I am already really tired.

But it is all worth it for my Quinn. Her new room will have three white walls and one yellow wall. Tim vetoed most fun colors. That seems to be the best I could do, but I am really excited about it. While I was at Lowe's, I fell it love with a paint color for my mom's room (the guest room.) It is a pretty bluish, green, and it reminds me of a color she would paint in her beach house, which is her dream. So, more work, more tired, but more fun in the end.

I've got Lindsay and Melissa coming over to keep me company and maybe roll a bit, so it should be a great day. Look for pictures tomorrow!!
