I've been known to be growing-things-and-keeping-them-alive challenged. Which is weird because my mom can landscape and keep things beautiful and luscious green like it's going out of style and, my sister can at least keep a house plant alive. Me, not so much. My mom was up here last week and for my early birthday present she cleaned out the flower beds in front of our house and planted some beautiful flowers. She then gave me instructions on how to keep them alive. Well, she also said that Western Oregon is the best place to learn how to keep and maintain a yard because everything grows here and it's very hard to kill anything. So, I've decided that I am up for this--I'm going to keep those suckers alive...and then some! I've been inspired (by my new, old house) to have things green and beautiful on the inside so I even went out and bought myself a house plant. The kind that my mom says are pretty much impossible to kill so, I'm thinking that it'll be good practice before I get something more exotic. Thanks mom for everything you did and for all of your help! I obviously could not have done it without you!
While T napped yesterday I finished painting my dining room. And, I covered the entire floor with plastic so as not to have a repeat of my paint-on-the-floor catastrophe. T woke up early and I didn't want to put my things away so I stripped her down to a diaper and put her on the floor with her washable paint, a paint brush and some paper. It would be an under statement to say that she loved it...because she really, really, really LOVED it! The girl LOVES to paint. I'm thinking of printing off a few of this pictures fairly big (8x10,
maybe larger) and hanging them in the dining room. Wouldn't that be a great? Pictures of T painting in the dining room hanging in the dining room....yep, I like it!
Joe went fishing today and later we're having some friends over for a BBQ. I'm totally excited because it's the first one since we've moved in. So, I've gotta go and get a jump on all that needs to be done for today.
