Painted House

We decided to take on the project and paint our living room,

entry way, hallway, and laundry room. It took us 3-4 weeks

to finish the entry way and living room. The photo on the left

still shows the tape and the ugly yellow that we had on that

shelf and then a back wall. We didn't like it, so I had to repaint

it. I had to do 3 coats in some places because the paint left

streaks. Matt would watch Nathan in our computer room while

I painted away. Lots of times I would stay up until 2AM painting

while Nathan was sleeping. We both like it, but it is quite a bit

darker than we thought it would be.

We were only able to get as far as we did because my parents

came to visit. They helped do the entire hallway with 8 doors.

I still have some to do, but they were life savers. We haven't

even been able to start the laundry room. I got the yellow paint

lightened up and will use it for the laundry room.

Nathan the Dino

He found a sucker in the back
of the van as we were getting
ready to hand out candy for
truck or treating.












We took Nathan out trick or
treating on a few streets, but
since he had a cold it was just
short.




I was trying to teach Nathan to say,
"Rrrrrrrrrr." No such luck. He loves
to say "dad, daddy, & dadada."

Love the FALL Time

I thought that Nathan might like playing in a pile of raked
leaves, but he preferred to play with the rake. He would
play outside all day if the weather allowed it.

1st Pumkin Carving

One night for FHE games we carved a pumkin. I
have fond memories of doing this as a kid. It
works out well because I prefer to get my hands
dirty and get the guts out of the pumpkin and
Matt prefers to carve. Nathan finally started to
get into it and fling the guts all over our kitchen.
