What Happens When I Don't Make Plans

Saturday morning, 8 a.m. David, Lindsay, Ada, Roxy sit at the kitchen table, finishing off their Quaker Oatmeal Squares and strawberries.
D: So whatcha wanna do today?
L: I dunno. Atlanta Botanical Gardens (as it is beautiful)? Buckhead YMCA pool (as I will not go there without backup from another capable adult)?
D: Sure. Whatever.
L: Or we could put up the picket fence (as I'd prefer to keep my offsprings' innards off the street). Or rip out the carpet in our room(as I have recently been diagnosed with allergy-induced asthma, ugh) and paint the floor, and while we're at it, the walls too.
D: Sure. Whatever. Let's do the carpet (I LOVE THIS MAN).

So, because we had no other plans, we (and by we I mean David) moved furniture, ripped up carpet, picked out paint, sanded the hardwood floors, and painted the hardwood floors. Oh, and ate lunch together and grilled out for dinner and got to watch a movie, too. Don't you just love lazy Saturdays, when you have no plans?

I forgot to take a before picture with the carpet, but here's a picture of the hardwood after we ripped up the carpet. And the boring tan wal.... oh, sorry, I fell asleep just typing that, they were just that boring,

My cream colored floor and vintagey blue walls. The color is called Newport Blue, which makes me double happy because it reminds me of The OC, which is the opposite of vintage-y but no less joy-inducing.
Another view of the bedroom. Lovely. Paintings by Clay.
And how was your weekend?

Leah, You're a smart aleck! We had just put the bed back together and David was more than ready for his nap. So his side was more fully dressed. My priority was taking the picture. :)

You married a good man!

Don't you love the names of paint colors? My bedroom is 'oak moss'.

Take pictures of the whole house (interior), I'd love to see it!
