So Dan spent the weekend painting the nursery (what will eventually be the nursery at least) well not the whole weekend. Friday we took Jabby out shopping for her birthday since we had no clue what a 14 year old would want for her birthday, she got a bunch of small stuff she seemed to like. Saturday was game day at Greebo’s and Caylor’s and Jabby’s birthday, so we went over for that played a couple of games, tried our new killer rabbit game it was fun. I also knitted a hat with this round knitting thing, it was kind of cool, but I think I will skip getting one because I know I won’t use it enough to justify it.

So Sunday we started the painting. Went out and picked up the 4 base colors, a light blue for the ceiling, a sky blue for the top 2/3rd of the wall, an orange for the bottom 1/3rd and green for the trim. Atty did the ceiling and one coat of the orange on Sunday. Monday he painted a bunch more, did a second ceiling coat, a second orange coat and the first blue coat. He then did a second blue coat and third orange coat later in the evening. It looks really good. There are a couple of spots that need to be patched up, but overall the colors work really well together. This weekend we’re going to try the stenciling and hope it works. If not we’ll go the easy way and use the border, but the stencil will look way cooler so hopefully it works. Then the room will be done! Yay, then we’ll be able to clear out the dogs room to start working on it. Poor Dan lots of painting for him.
