Just remember....

As you settle on the couch for a lazy Sunday afternoon, hoping for enough bad weather for a snow day...just remember the guys out there in this horrible weather. My husband, just left for probably 24 hours of work and my dad is soon to be called in to maintain snow removal equipment as needed. I went and did all the chores and threw them a little extra:) since even animals should deserve a little yummy treat on such a crummy day! So, as much fun as an unexpected day off from school is, keep those guys in your prayers!

He's Not Listening...

Last night, Emma prayed for God to help her be a good girl today. She said, "I'll ask him mom, but he NEVER helps me." I told her that he might be helping her, but she was just not listening. She sighed and said, "I'll listen very hard today!" I'm curious to know if today at Judy's she'll stop as if someone is talking to her and do the right thing. That would be too precious and a little on the odd side.

The Results

We are exhausted, but I will try to update you.

We got almost everything painted tonight. I have to get more brown for the stairway walls and loft. I decided to go with the same brown that is in Emma's room. It looks really good. I took pictures, but they are terrible quality, b/c my battery was almost dead and the lens cover was dirty.

Anyway, here they are..

I painted the dormer walls the same color as the stairway wall. The rest of the walls are gray, it's just hard to see.

Emma's chandelier lit up!
Emma's laminate floor in her bathroom.

My ceiling fan....I love it!

Our ceiling fans in the living room. They make me happy! They look awesome and huge! They are 68 inches across! We haven't had them on yet, I hope they don't rock the whole house:)

Thanks to Bree, Erin, Amee, Corin, and Lauren for helping paint. Lauren you are an excellent trimmer and Corin you now have a special bond with my hallway/stairway! Bree you are a great friend...thanks!

Also a shout out to my mom who loved, fed, bathed, and cuddled my kids! Thank you!
As you say your prayers tonight, pray for a special, little girl who I have grown to love! She's 6 years old and I taught her for two years. She has three younger brothers whom her mom is raising, but her mom will not raise her. Her great-great grandmother who took on the duty is dying and there is no one in the family that will take her in. I know God has a plan for her, but I hope it's not a tough one. I am crying as I type this, b/c I love her so much and I don't want to see her little spirit crushed. God, please keep her safe and let her feel loved.

O.K...obviously I need to go to bed.

Good night!
