We FINALLY painted our kitchen!!! The dirty white walls are gone. Here are some pictures of before, during, and after…
You can’t see much of the wall behind but here is a before…
This is a swatch where we tested the paint to see if we would like it.
The girls got in on the painting action
Here are a few “after” shots. The walls are a little darker than the picture shows.
Tonight Megan had 1st Communion pictures. After school I took her to get her hair trimmed and styled. Here is a sneak preview at my baby girl.
Yesterday was Earth Day. The girls school celebrated the day by cleaning and beautifying the school and the local park right next door to the school!
After school t he children were divided up in groups with an adult leader. The different groups mulched, picked up litter, cleaned up sticks, remove dead plants and weeds, etc.
I volunteered to be a leader of one of the groups. Our group was in charge of pulling weeds out of the island in the school parking lot. Wow, what a task that was! After we pulled the weeds (and probably lots of non-weeds) the kids decorated brown paper grocery bags with Earth Day themes and decorated the school sidewalks with sidewalk chalk! The bags will be used at the Vandalia Kroger this weekend!
Another Easter has come and gone! The girls and I did our traditional visit to my parents house in Chillicothe. Ron drove us to Jeffersonville where we met my mom and she drove us to Chillicothe. Ron and his mom came to Chillicothe on Easter Sunday for dinner and Ron was nice enough to drive us all back to Vandalia!
WARNING: Lots and lots of pictures coming….
Friday night we ate at Long John Silver’s and then headed to my parents house to hang out. Saturday morning we got up and went in to town. My parents and the girls surprised me with a stop in JC Penny’s for a new Easter dress for ME! The girls picked out some dresses for me to try on and once it was narrowed down to two dresses we all voted.
I ended up with this one…
After dress shopping we went to lunch at BW3. They have the best salsa and chips! Mmmmm. Once our bellies were full we had to go Easter shoe shopping for Emily and me. We both found some we loved at Payless! Whew!
Saturday night my mom went to Easter Vigil Mass and we stayed home with my dad and dyed Easter eggs.
Sunday morning we woke up to find the Easter Bunny had been to G&G house!
After the girls went through their baskets we ate breakfast and got ready for church.
Shortly after we got home from church, Ron and his mom arrived! The girls were happy to see Daddy. My brother arrived a few minutes later so we all sat down and stuffed ourselves with yummy food!
