I recently found a good deal on some paint. So I have been repainting Christian's bedroom. Since he was born he has slept in a bright pink bedroom with his sister. When Lisa moved out he got the bright purple bedroom all to himself. We are making it a play room/bedroom/storage (closet). I felt it was time he had a boy looking room so I painted it a light blue. It has taken me a week to get it done. We have had so much sickness in the house that I can't work on it for more than 1/2 hour at a time.
The color is so different from the other colors in the house that I sometimes stop and go what was I thinking when I painted these other rooms. The colors are so bright and bold. I am planning on repainting the other two bedrooms some time this month. I am going with much softer colors this time. I see now with Christian's room that there is a calming affect with the room. The bright bold colors do not calm and relax me so they probably don't the kids. I want thier rooms to be a place where they can go and relax.
We are accomplishing some school work this week. Lee and Brittney are feeling well enough to keep up with thier normal load. Jessica and James are still not feeling up to par so I have not been doing much with them.
My mom & dad are planning on taking the two girls with them to IL this weekend. Jessica keeps saying she must rest so she will get better so she can go.
