Just Our Luck

Our first home "remodeling" project is complete. We added French doors to the front room to create a "Man Cave" for Nick and his buddies. It looks great and pretty much went like clockwork. Our handyman's job was to install the doors and our job was to paint.

Saturday was paint day, we got the primer and paint on the doors/trim then turned to the walls. Bill retreived the builder's paint from under the house which of course we'd been storing for the almost 4 years we've lived in this house. We're set, right? Wrong...

Turns out we've been storing dining room paint and we'll be needing to repaint the ENTIRE FOYER. Any color suggestions?

Dancin' Queen

Several months ago McDonald's gave out "Kidz Bop" CDs in the Happy Meals. We are the unfortunate owners of 3 different CDs (don't judge me just because this means that we went to McD's at least 3 times...actually there were more than 3 and I told the cashier she could keep the ones we already owned.) These CDs are the bain of my existence and are often "lost" or "broken" when Caden asks if he can listen to his songs.

Even though I can't stand the music, my kids love it. Caden sings along and Claire starts rocking out every time the music comes on - here's proof:
