I put the girls to work


Emma, Lila, and Thea paint the walls

We're painting the old dining room/new office. I briefly considered not painting over the wallpaper, because someone — with better taste than I have — complimented it once. But then as I was staring at it, my eyes started jumping around like I was about to have a seizure. It's pretty, but BUSY.

NO! At least I got to see it once, up close and in person. Come to think of it, it's probably for the best. I dig that green - it is green, isn't it? Minty? Yum.

The color in the picture is off a bit. It's a little minty, but more pea-y. Kind of a toned-down version of the color of Thea's room.

I'll bet they LOVED it!! That was brave of you, all around.

They had a blast. Todd and Heather B. both looked at me like I was insane when I announced to the girls, "Who wants to help me paint the walls?" But I just figured there'd be someone else to blame for the paint spots on the floor. (They were all very careful, though. Sadly, more careful than I.)
