Decorating for Christmas

Well, we finally got our basement painted. John and I stayted up late Saturday night getting it finished. Everytime I paint it always takes a few days for me to adjust to the color change. Our motivation to paint was so we could get our Christmas Tree put up.

We decorated our tree on Sunday. The kids had a good time. It really un-nerves John to decorate the tree because the kids are so handsy. They want to help with everything. But it is fun and now we have our decorations up and are ready for Christmas (not with the shopping part though.)




You can see our new paint color behind the tree.

Painting

So, on Saturday about 6:00 p.m., I got the bug to paint our living room. Of course we didn't finish Saturday night so on Sunday we had to live in coas. Then on Monday I had to wait for John to get home. We chose a really dark brown and I didn't like it so we started over again on the walls. We painted our backwall a deep plum and I like it alot. We finally got the tan right and now I love our front room. It feels so nice and cozy. But what a crazy few days!!!!
