April 2012

allllmooost caught up!

after the slower month of March, resting and what not we finally came to

April!

my mom {nana} came to visit again! wahoo!

with her in town we were able to paint our ceilings {not wahoo}

including our 18 ft ceilings!.....it was fun for about 0 seconds

as you can see, we started with a looooong pole....well that was hard {really, was it? YES!} so we rented a scaffold

since we had a scaffold we also put up crown molding

{my hard working husband, so blessed}

 

we also adding molding around the center of the room to add more design to the loooong walls

also if I ever get the itch to re-paint, I can just repaint the bottom half and not the entire room

as much as I'd like to claim the credit on this genius idea, I got the idea from another blog

 

 look! I helped too!!

 

 the girls took a break and did our traditional outing

TEA PARTY!

we always go to tea with nana, bebe and mawmaw

I started and finished my very first pinterest project

we had a pre-Easter hunt with our friends that we first met 6+ years ago when we first came to Georgia, we were all newly married and now we all have kids {with one couple's first on the way}

 

{ this looks good on you Johanna! ;) }

{this is the only picture I could get of all the kids

I had to tell them "look an airplane" that didn't work on Cole though}

then we had a family Easter hunt

Clover, being the only kid there, got all the eggs and attention

{it was a long day}

we stopped to smell the roses

 

we had good times with our friend Cooper

{Clover pronounces his name with a french accent, Coop-air}

 

finished painting the kitchen, entry way and upper living room

I didn't take a picture of the kitchen, but here is a good shot of the color

it used to be green

I still have a little bit more painting to do, but after these big portions I'm taking a much needed breather
