Still Painting

I forgot the last time I posted I changed the layout...so when I opened my blog to post again, I didn't recognize it, how terrible is that! Needless to say, I really like this layout/background!!
Guess what we did last weekend!!!???



Yep, still painting! Mom and dad went out on a date and came back with a present for me-my own painting equipment! I actually ended up not using it as we tried to use the least amount of brushes as possible but now our garage walls are a nice light green (slightly more green than white ;) ) color. Dad is cleaning out the garage this weekend so we can tackle the floor. After the garage I think we have finished the painting!! Well accept for the hallway? I was told? Oh there are always projects :)

School is going well! This is the last nine weeks and the kids are all excited about Halloween/Fall festivities!! The discovered my drawer of candy but thankfully I have a key to keep it locked :p. Working on a fall bulletin board and I forget they take more than a night to do. I also discovered that brown is not a Christmas color. I was trying to get ribbon for the Fall Board and the Walmart I went to didn't carry ribbon. Thinking that I could perhaps find it in the Christmas section (maybe the early bird Christmas bug could be beneficial!) I searched long and hard. Alas, the two kinds of brown I purchased are too fancy so I shall have to return them. Oh well, bulletin board and newbie teacher fail but I think the board will still turn out ok!!

To encourage you this weekend, a message from DaySpring Devotional emails:

"No matter what your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in My presence. On some days Joy is generously strewn along your life-path....other days are overcast and gloomy...yet Joy is still attainable. Search for it as a hidden treasure.

Begin by remembering that i have created this day; it is not a chance occurance. Recall that I am present with you...then, start talking with Me. Awareness of My marvleous Companionship can inufse Joy into the grayest day."-from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
