I love sleeping!

 

difference again...

I think this is at 2 weeks?
This is 6 weeks. What a fatty!
 

new colors

This is Oliver's room, the trim isn't painted yet. Isn't the colour great, though!

This is the master bedroom. Again, the trim is not painted yet.
I'm very excited about finishing it up and posting pictures of all of them. 

everyone's asleep...

It's 1am and everyone is asleep. I'm awake because I took a nap a few hours ago and i'm just not tired. Hahaha! NOT TIRED! Are new moms allowed to say that?
We've been painting like crazy at the new house. Bob mostly, but I've helped some. It's not very good to have Oliver breathing paint fumes. Anyway, we've first coated our room and the living room, and second coated Oliver's room. I have pictures and since I'm posting them after I write this then you've probably already seen them. We still have to paint the office and the dining room and the trim in all the rooms, but we are moving right along.
Oliver has been progressing well, too. He's SMILING now! It's so cute, that little gummy grin. I wish I could get a picture, but I haven't really learned to keep the camera in reaching distance. He can roll over from his tummy to his back now. He's been working on that for a while and he's finally got it down.

Phone picture...

I took this one with my camera phone. Isn't this an amazing picture?
 

I take it back...

We painted the first coat in Oliver's room today. It's way different painting with colour than painting with primer. It was fun to paint, and now his room is BRIGHT yellow! We finished the room in about 1 and a half hours. When you stand in the living room and look down the hall you can see the glow of the yellow coming out of the doorway! I'm very excited to do the rest of the house. We've got primer in our room, and we're putting it in the living room tomorrow. That means we get to do the first coat of colour in our room! I can hardly wait!

home improvement

I never knew that buying a house would be so much work! We've been working nonstop on the house for a week or so now and it's just barely starting to be the way we need it to be before we move in. I spent a day cleaning and packing up that crazy lady's stuff, Bob has spent way more time there cleaning and fixing things and stuff. The fridge had mold in it so we go a new one at HOME DEPOT. Don't worry, we didn't spend much - it was the least expensive one they had. We are planning to clean the carpets today and paint one coat in one room. Yesterday we bought the paint and painting supplies. We actually managed to put primer in the two bedrooms in about 2 and a half hours. These are not big rooms - what took us so long?! Well for one thing we had Oliver with us and had to keep checking on him (he was in the living room so he wouldn't breathe paint fumes). Also, painting is tedious and not nearly as much fun as I thought it would be. Maybe it will be different when we start painting with colour, I don't know. Even though it was hard and tiring and all that the rooms looked way better with just primer. I don't know what the problem was with them before, but now they are all uniform colour and the look smooth and nice. Of course, we did cover up about a zillion spots of spackle - that may have had something to do with it, too. I'm kind of excited about getting it done. The colours I picked out are so cool!

They are:
Living room: Ancient Stone, accent wall Grounded
Oliver's Room: Sun Shower with trim Pine Grove
Master Bedroom: Oat Straw with trim Classic Cherry
Dining Room: Ocean Cruise
Office: Sun Shower with accent wall Grounded
Master Bath: bottom Oat Straw, top Classic Cherry
2nd Bath: bottom Ancient Stone, top Grounded

I'm pretty sure we got enough paint to do all that, if not we will just do the main rooms and leave the office and the bathrooms for later. Our next project is to redo the floor in the bathroom (there's carpet in there now) and fix the toilets (one of them leaks, one needs a new seat). After that who knows. We want to get new carpet, but that will have to wait a while. We need to get rid of some of the bushes and things in the yard. We need to insulate the attic and put up walls in the laundry room. We need to put on a back door. Right now the laundry area is connected to the outside by only a screen door. There is a door with a deadbolt leading to that.
I'm thinking you can do something on your taxes when you do home improvement projects. I'll have to look into that.

Other than that everything is normal. Yeah, I know I haven't posted in a few days, and no pictures! Like I said we've been busy. I think I do have a few new pictures though so I'll post them later today. Bob has an interview at a cell phone 411 place. He will probably hate the job, but it's more money...although we can technically pay the bills with what he makes now. well, if we don't buy groceries or anything.I guess we do need a second income. I wish there was some way to make money working from home without having to get a million spam emails or buy a bunch of equipment or call people. Oh well, maybe I'll find something one day.
