My painting project

Normally my husband doesn't let me touch the paintbrushes when it comes to house projects. Usually I take the kids and he takes on the painting but today he let me paint the bathroom. Maybe it's because it's probably the toughest room to paint. Maybe because the last time he let me paint it (back before we were married) I kinda didn't do such a great job - hence no more painting for Kristie - and he wanted me to have another shot. Maybe because he just painted the kitchen. Regardless, today was my day to paint.

During the process I only had to say "if you don't like how I'm doing it, do it yourself" twice. I got a "you did fine" when I was done . He came in at the end and found all the paint drops I left behind - I told him he was in charge of clean-up. Alyssa said that daddy does a better job because when he's done painting he doesn't have paint all over him and when I was finished, I did. Still do. Matthew was my big supporter. He came in twice and told me I was doing a great job. Coulda melted my heart. After everything was put up, Alyssa said she really really liked it and I think even Gregg is thinking it was a good change. And most importantly, I like it - it is more cheery...

Here's before...
