Finished Painting ... Almost

I was able to get Carter's room and the nursery painted tonight. I'm glad that's over - I thought it was going to be way more fun than it actually was. Luckily, both rooms aren't very big and it didn't take too long. I also didn't spill any paint, which is a very good thing - I have a track record for spilling a little bit, at least. We've only got our bathroom left to paint and the whole house will finally be painted - I'll try my best to put this off as long as Steph will let me. Steph and Carter are in Lone Grove this weekend visiting family and friends ... and I'm missing them very much. It's funny how you think you're going to get more sleep, when the "natural" alarm clock is away from home, but it's much more difficult to even sleep when the two of them are away.

The Weed Empire

Wednesdays have become my day to mow the lawn ... or to put it more accurately ... mow the "Weed Empire". The sod our builder laid only caught in a few places (which are growing quite nicely), but the majority of our lawn has been overtaken with weeds. Those of you who know me, know how much this is driving me crazy. I love my lawns and hate weeds. And with all the rain we've got in OK this summer, I haven't been able to do anything about it. Steph and Carter are going to Lone Grove this weekend, however, to visit family and attend a friend's son's birthday party. This is my cue to kill the weeds. I can't wait to drown them all in poison and hopefully get started on the recovery of our yard. I especially hate that Carter has an incredibly horrid backyard to play in (not that he cares, but grass is so much softer than weeds). I also have plans this weekend to paint the nursery and Carter's room. I hate painting, but am looking forward, actually, to painting all the kids' rooms. It's going to be a very busy weekend.
