We know, we know... we're were supposed to post daily. We're sorry... the days just come and go so quickly! Here's a little blurb of what we did yesterday and today.
Yesterday was spent mainly in painting the boys' room a pretty pale brown color. To us it looks just like yummy chocolate milk. And it's very surprising how cozy it makes a room feel! Nanny and Apphia are the official "cutting-in-a-room" painters (for us non-painters the term means go around the edges, near the baseboards, and trim!), so yesterday for awhile they worked on that while Mom helped the boys go through all the "goodies" they have. 
Here Nanny's starting to cut in the room, while Abigail looks on.
Apphia's working on some more painting while Caleb and Abigail keep her company.
Then Nanny had this impressive idea to paint a blue stripe on the wall with the window, and paint a Bible verse above it. Earlier this morning, Nanny worked on that by herself. We chose a verse that we thought would be good for our wonderful young men... 2 Timothy 2:1 "Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."
She did this all free hand! Unbelievable to me! Now the finished product...
This afternoon we also enjoyed going into town and visiting one of our favorite local flea markets, The Picket Fence (Nanny loves flea markets as much as we do!). Mom and Nanny had decided on some nice storage solutions for the floor of the closet so off we went to Lowe's to pick up some things. Lord willing you'll get to see them tomorrow! (By the way, we also had to stop at the fabric store for some things...)
While we were in town we also picked up some Domino's Pizza for our movie and pizza night tonight... we're taking the evening off work.
P.S. Paps, if you're reading this, we love and miss you TONS!! We wish you were here too!
Sounds like everyone is having a lot of fun!!! I'm an oil painter but can't for the life of me free hand works very pretty. I can paint flowers, animal, people and what not but I can not paint words lol. But your Nanny did great! Looks beautiful.
