this week


Nothing extremely interesting in the Barnhill house this week. I decided on a whim to repaint my guest bathroom. I have lived in this house for over 7 years and am just now getting to it! With repainting comes redecorating as well. I just got my new light fixture up today.

Matthew got his first individual color change yesterday. (His table has gotten one before for fighting over colors!) He has gotten to be best friends with one of his classmates (whose b-day party he just attended) and they are having a difficult time controlling the shear exuberance that a new friendship brings! He came home and said, "Even though I was talking in line and got a color change, you are still my one and only, ever-loving mother!" I assured him that he wouldn't think I was so "ever-loving" if this were to happen again!

The Today Show kicked off its two week stint at the Olympics today! I am an Olympics fanatic. I recently wrote how stories about animals will get me to cry every time. I am the same way with the Olympics. I just can't keep the tears in when an American wins the gold medal!

The last summer Olympics started the week that ME was born. I was so tired during the evening events that I didn't get to enjoy them as much as I usually do. The last winter Olympics I spent in the hospital with my 2 month old Thomas who developed a high fever and had to spend 3 days in the hospital running a lot of tests. Yes, our family will be glued to the TV for the next two weeks. I can't wait!

How oh HOW do you do everything that you do??? I am in the process of re-doing my bathroom and it is taking me FOREVER! Did you really do that in one day??? I'm feeling completely inadequate right now.

That looks beautiful! You're getting me in the spirit. Now that I'm unpacked I can't wait to start painting. That's the fun part!

Wow! I was given way too much credit!

Once I get an idea in my head to do something, I have to do it all immediately. Ask my husband...it is a blessing and a curse!

Meredith-
I got that shelf on sale at Target on Tuesday for $6! Can't beat that!

When I first saw the picture, I thought "Those are on sale at Target this week for $6." I really need help!

elizabeth said...

Yes, Deana, I actually thought about you when I purchased it! I knew you would be proud!

I love the bathroom re-do! And you did it in one day??? Wow!!!

I love the Olympics, too--and I cry when the Americans win, too!

Hawaii had a Walmart and Kmart, but no Target. Makes my desire to move there less.
You bathroom looks fabulous darling!
