All I want for Christmas is my own paint sprayer.


This weekend was Olivia's last game.

027


Can I get a "HALLELUJAH"?????

It was also Breast Cancer Awareness weekend for the football league.


029

The boys wore their pink shirts under their jerseys.

030

No, Liv's cheeks aren't usually hot pink.

039

The cheerleaders got their pink on too!

Liv's glad to see the season come to an end.

Now they can concentrate on competition in November, which is the main reason she cheers.

On Sunday I decided to paint the wicker set I got. Remember what it looked like before?



It didn't weather well. I didn't even take any pictures before I scrubbed it.

GR-OSS.

Off to Wal-mart I went.

That little sprayer was the best $2.50 I have EVER spent. Seriously.

But it still took hours - and 10 cans of spray paint - and two trips to Wal-mart

- and copious amounts of this...

049

To finish all four pieces.

042

They look fabulous. But I'll have to do them again in the spring no doubt....

043

They are going to go here for the winter.

048

Tucked away back in the corners, where they'll be somewhat protected from the weather.


046

And because Brian rarely makes an appearance on the blog......

005

This is him tormenting the girls.

011

He usually does this right at bed time.

Naturally.

So now you know the reason my kids don't get to bed on time.

The furniture looks great, you may want to invest in some outdoor furniture covers - that seems to do the trick for our 'outdoor wicker' furniture. I would also love my own paint sprayer!
