I am trying hard to wake up this morning. I haven't been sleeping too well the last few nights. Too many things to think and pray about. Lack of sleep makes it a little more difficult to be enthused about school or... well anything.
I do feel good about one thing. Ethan and I have been working on our screen door. I think it was the original door they put on when it was built in the 70's! UGH!! Needless to say, it was in a bad way. I knew we didn't have enough right now for a new door so I went and got a moss green spray paint and painted it! I did have to buy a new latch though. The old one was just too old! bought a nice new white one and it looks so much better. Ethan was jumping up and down and super excited when we got it done. He helped me with it so he felt a great sense of accomplishment when it was all done. It was fun seeing him feel so good about something he did. He high-fived me quite a few times!!! LOL It was so funny though when I started taking off the mail box. I was going to clean it up and paint it as well, but I hadn't told him my plans. He is one of those people who really do like to know the plans before they go into action. He was freaking out! "Mom, what are you doing? How will we get mail if you take it down? You didn't buy a new one! Where are we going to put our mail?" Hehe...I didn't tell him what I was doing. He finally figured it out when I set it on a box and started to primer it. I know...I'm mean. I couldn't help it. It is so easy to mess with that character trait.
The next big job is to paint the shutters. It wont be as difficult as the door. I'm glad about that. I think it will look so much brighter than the black they are now.

Fun, see what a little paint can do?! I Loooove painting! It's so therapeutic, and inexpensive too! Andrew used to come home to the smell of paint all the time, and rooms in different colors as my mood changed! lol He did Not appreciate it as much as I did! ha, ha Had a few disasters, but nothing another coat/color of paint wouldn't fix! Fun times! :)
