All I want for Christmas is my own paint sprayer.

This weekend was Olivia's last game.




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

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

The boys wore their pink shirts under their jerseys.



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



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...



To finish all four pieces.



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



They are going to go here for the winter.

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




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

This is him tormenting the girls.



He usually does this right at bed time.

Naturally.




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