Bathroom

Old bathroom with blue and white walls and wallpaper border

 Border removed

 Finishing touches with flowers

 Still need to finish off this wall.  Want to put vases over the flower stems and paint them. 

 Also painted the kitchen wall.  The black is magnetic paint.  It was very think and heavy to paint and made the room very dark.

 Magnets worked well.  Katie had fun with it.  I was going to put up chalk board paint on top but we went with dry erase paint

 Here is the finished product.  Still holds the magnets too.

Catching Up

I know it's been a while since last posting - (they changed the eBlogger format also which is making this harder also)

Katie has lost to total of 6 teeth so far.  Here she is with the last one barely hanging on.

 And it's gone.  Makes it very difficult to eat corn on the cob.  Hopefully they will come in before

 We have been doing a lot of crafts.  We made soap last month - good clean fun!
Tye dying was fun - not too messy.  Our first attempt didn't come out well, I think it was poor dye. Our second attemp was a lot better.

 Success.  Will definately do this again.

 She is enjoying wearing her hair up.  Lately its been the side pony - so 80's

 Quick trip through DC.  Katie said to Bill "Daddy did you know there is a building on the back of a penny and in that building is a
 statue of Abraham Lincoln - I would like to see that!" So we stopped on our way down to NC ( she spent spring break with Nana and Papa).  We saw the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and went to the National Museum of Natural History.

 Katie has been studying penguins in school.  She knew this was an Adele penguin.

 We redid her bathroom.  Used to be blue and white with dolphins.  I had to remove the wallpaper border and prime the walls - I did that while she was away.  She picked out the purple ( it's really purple)

 I am glad she went with a slightly more adult theme.  We picked flowers - I was afraid it was going to be Barbie.  I will try to paste some more photos if the finished product.
