Kitchen is finished!

Okay the kitchen has been painted but it now needs new curtains and accessories.

New Paint!

Okay it is not really dry but I couldn't stand not getting some opinions. This is the same room just different area. What do you think?

A Nice Getaway!

We spent last night at Jekyll. It was kind of a last minute decision and a surprise for Macy. The girl loves to stay in a motel. I can really relate to TD in that I hate to pack to go away even for a night. So...I was determined not to pack much and I wasn't thinking we might take some more pictures since we took a ton in July. We were spying on a wedding on the beach when David and I decided it would be a great place to snap some photos. Him being a guy he didn't really understand that I didn't bring anything fabulous for Macy or really any of us since we were only staying for the night. I did manage to get some great shots of him and Macy (caught their beautiful eyes) and the group shot of course somebody was not looking straight ahead or someone elses eyes were closed. I can't blog long got to get ready for the painters tomorrow...yes! I get new paint all 3 rooms and can't wait. Of course new paint means new paintings and maybe a rug or 2.

A Never ending situation....

Do you ever feel like a situation will never end? Kind of like a tough piece of meat that you just can't chew enough to go down! As they repaired my ceiling, they had to tape around the top so none would get on the walls or floor. They had plastic from ceiling to floor and even all over the floor. Well the painters tape they used pulled off the trim around the top of the ceiling. They of course wanted to paint right away but my house hasn't been painted since it was new so they will have to come back. I am not too upset since I have been wanting to paint the living, dining room and kitchen for some time but it is a big project. I have already spoken to their boss and he is going to try to work it out that I can get all the rooms painted at maybe a 50% reduction. This may save me from having to paint. Worse case scenario they will do the trim work and David and I paint the dining room which means the living room will have to be painted as well since they are only divided by a two sided fireplace. The ceiling is fixed and looks great. This company was awesome and finished in one day.

A "Blue" Day

What was I thinking? I don't like pictures of my feet but since Lissa insisted her it goes. Macy and I went to have our toes done yesterday and while she was picking out blue for her fingernails I found a color I thought would be cute. Well...as soon as they put it on I knew better but wouldn't say anything. My day yesterday was quit stressful so I guess I had a temporary lapse of judgement. Macy thought Mommy was cool but later told me and I quote her...."Mommy it is a little much."

A Mess!

Today is my first day of a mini vacation and I am in charge of the renovation...remember the hole in my ceiling? Well...at 8:00 this AM they showed up to fix my ceiling. I sent Macy over to the neighbors to play for the day and David stayed long enough to give them instructions (how he wants it done the "Fennell" way) and about 10:00 he left to shoot birds in G-ville. I am held up in the back bedroom trying to stay away from the smell and mess. They have it closed off like a HZMAT area but I can tell it is a mess and it smells a little like new construction. I gave up on cleaning until afterwards. (it was a good excuse) I guess I will get my papers graded and lessons done for next week. I think we will go to the beach tomorrow and maybe spend the night. David has worked so much lately that it seems we haven't seen him and he has 2 more days free. He loves to bird hunt so I didn't even fuss about the bird shoot today. But I told him tomorrow and the next day belong to his girls.

Granny comes to FLE!

On Tuesday afternoon Macy calls her Granny (she dialed it herself) and asked if her Granny could come to eat lunch with her. She even put in a pretty please with sugar on top. Granny told her she would think about it (translates...if it doesn't rain) She doesn't like to drive when its raining because of her eyesight. They had a great lunch and Mom said she must have been too excited to eat because all she did was smile, talk and hug her. It warms my heart at their bond. I am so blessed that she was able to keep her for 4 years because they have a bond Macy will never forget. AND Granny is pretty awesome!
