Red Paint

What a weekend

ebenezer — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 04:10:28 +0000

Lessons learned this weekend:

little matchbox cars do not really flush down the toilet – they go part of the way and then back everything else up
it is not MORE fun to try to unclog a toilet that has poop in it
Once a princess starts potty training, she will continuosly take off her pull up in bed after she pees in it
paint should not be moved from one room to another without securing the lid
not even if it is just a quart of paint
especially if it is RED paint
being carried over beige carpet
and you have a toddler underfoot
a little red paint goes a looooooong way on beige carpet
red paint spilled just right can look like someone was murdered in your son’s nursery
nothing, i repeat NOTHING gets red paint out of beige carpet
no matter how hard you try, even if you get most of it out, red paint still looks really bad on beige carpet and will have to be replaced or covered, so why bother with all the work trying to get it out?
when a pacifier “pappy” becomes a casuality of spilled red paint, owner of the pappy will throw a fit like you have never seen before
said toddler will remind you and ask you why you spilled red paint on the deceased pappy
everything you use to try and clean red paint will just end up red
if you move everything onto the capet in the den to clean the most embarassing parts of your floor, an old neighbor and her three grandkids will stop by unannounced to catch you in the act while your kids run amuck in the excitement
red paint does not come out of beige carpet
do not attempt to relocate red paint until it is properly secured
even the most beautifully decorated nursery looks like crap with red paint on top of beige carpet
if you do not put a diaper on baby Isaac and put him back in daddy’s lap to finish eating (instead of going straight to bath which is why no diaper in the first place), he will pee on daddy and daddy will not think it is nearly as funny as you think it is
no matter how funny it really is
red paint
beige carpet
bad combination

Changes Abound

So not too much is going on with us lately. We have only been caring for an infant, redecorating two rooms, transitioning toddler to “big girl” room…..since we haven’t had much going on, we thought we’d throw in a little potty training, too.

Actually, Princedd has decided it is time. She peed on the potty four times yesterday and told me this morning she needed to go. It has totally been hee thing, I just put the potty in front of the tv and she decided to run around naked and pee.

FABULOUS!

Poop Crank

Why am I awake at 1am? I just fed Isaac and did the dishes – we have to run the washer every night now so we don’t run out of bottles! But I should be asleep. Or at least going to sleep. It’s hard to ignore the quiet, even when I know I will pay for it tomorrow. Things are still going well, though we are counting the days until we can start trying to “sleep train” little Isaac. It worked perfectly with Princess and she was sleeping through the night at 6 weeks but I’m afraid it may not go as smoothly this time. Guess we’ll see.

I have to say that while I still think he is the most adorable baby, I definitely do not think its cute when Isaac poops when I’m changing his diaper. It’s like I crank it out of him every time I pull his legs back to put a new diaper underneath him. Today: 3 diapers! FIVE minutes! What is that about?

We still haven’t decided on a middle name for Isaac and Speedy and Princess still call him “baby Isaac”. So maybe his first name will just be baby. That’s mean, isn’t it?

I have absolutely nothing worthwhile to say tonight.

I love Target

Polka dots courtesy of the local Target. who knew?

Ahhh….FINALLY!

ebenezer — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 18:52:44 +0000

The room isn’t finished… I still need to “accessorize” it. But the biggest part is done. I’ll add pink and purple polka dots on the walls later.

Room Redo take two

Well, I decided Princess’ room had to be repainted. I picked a softer, almost minty green and I LOVE IT! Aunt Kelly came over to help paint (thanks, again) and it’s all done. She even convinced me that the blue in Isaac’s room looks good. Now I just have to fix all the edges I screwed up the first time and I’ll be all set.

we also purchased a big girl bed and dresser for the Princess and I can’t wait until Daddyo builds it.

He is not so thrilled with that idea.

Room Redo

Painted Princess’ new room. HATE it.

Painted Isaac’s room. HATE it.

Too worn out to repaint anything.

Disappointed.

A little ticked off.

Hoping to wake up loving it in the morning.

Not too optimistic.
