Sick And Tired And Paint

Sick- TJ

Tired- ME & TJ

Paint- ME

Today was supposed to be the day TJ and I worked ALL day, kid free, to finish up all these little house projects we have to finish and paint the foyer which was my birthday present. Well, I guess he really didn't want to and decided the best way for him to get out of all the work was to wake up in the middle of the night throwing up, have a high fever all day, and stay in bed. Seriously though, he is really sick... it's going around this town and our family.

So I was left to try and paint a two story wall alone. Didn't happen... obviously. I did the best I could and tried to get as high as possible. The more I looked at how high it is I thought I should call a professional. With our health insurance not being so great right now I would rather pay our friend Tyler a little money than risk the chance of TJ falling. So Tyler will be coming to finish what we can't next week. But so far it looks 1,000,000 TIMES BETTER!

The color is a taupe color so it's kind of hard to see in these pictures... the lighting was not that great...

I also painted a large square of magnetic paint in the kids play closet that is under the stairs. They LOVE it. For those of you who want to try this paint I had to stir the pant for 10 minutes + before actually starting to paint and then painted 4 coats to get a little more magnetic power. It really only hold light weight magnates. I hung the Leap Frog toy that you put the letters on... You could also do a layer of the chalk board paint on top but I like to keep the chalk outside :)
