Happenings

I've been painting my upper cabinet doors a little at a time.  I finally got all the coats of paint on 4 doors (two of primer and 2 of paint).  I did this in the laundry room because it's so darn humid outside.

Then I pulled out the ironing board, knocked over a door, and the middle raised insert scooched/cracked/I don't know.  SO, I'll paint that baby again.

And I've filled the hinge screw holes on the cabinets.  So, I am free to sand the kitchen just whenever I feel like making a gigantic, dusty mess in our house.  I knew this would take 3 months or more to get done, doing a little at a time in-between everything else.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.  I could get a lot done if I didn't have to feed people. :)  Grocery store, Sam's, and cooking take up most of my life, and in the in-between I get to paint things.  That's alright, I like to eat too.

So, Ange and I got some paint on the baby room walls!  If you can't tell, it's gray with a hint of green in there.  Sweet Audrey will love it.

My basil is going crazy, so we keep putting pesto on things.

Sorry it's sideways.  This is a tomatillo plant!  Salsa verde, coming soon. 

And the kale, swiss chard, butter head, and green leaf keep coming.  I love it.

So summer has just been a blur.  The girls have camp, gymnastics, dance, and 2 weeks of swimming lessons are coming up.

Also, I've been thinking a lot about these:

Sorry, I'm so bad at this!  Yes, I took a picture of the computer screen because I don't know how to post a picture onto my blog from off the web.  And I can't figure out how to rotate them.  Anyway.......

We're getting one of these at the end of July.  DON'T TELL THE KIDS.  It's a surprise.  But we'll probably let them name her.  I've been listening to how they name their rolly pollies, and I think we're going to have a hard time agreeing on one.

I keep hearing Sparkle-Shine, Star, Sugar Cube, Lunianatta.  But I like elderly women's names: Lucile, Mabel, Ruby, Irma.  This will be fun.  Maybe we will compromise with the middle name.
Sparkly-Pink Gertrude. :)

Okay, too much coffee.  Time to clean something.
