Bedroom project!

Well we took the boys to Price last Friday and stayed there with them till Sunday, then left them there with Nana and Papa and headed home. It was hard to leave them...they are rarely without me and I always feel guilty whenever I leave them, but it made it even harder that Gunnar had been sick the night before. But after falling asleep at 6:00 that night and sleeping till 7:00 Sunday morning he woke up feeling and acting fine, so we decided to go ahead with our plan and head back home. The whole reason for this trip and them staying for most of the week was that we had signed Ashton up for a soccer camp there with his cousin Hunter, and we didn't want to leave Gunnar out, so we decided to have him stay too while we came home and got stuff done. One of the main things I've wanted to do forever and planned out to do this week was paint our bedroom and have Lars do some wood work in there too. So Monday morning first thing, I got up and started painting, and painted all day long till Lars got home from work. Then we went and got the rest of our supplies and started a little on the chair rail that night. Tuesday Lars had to work, so I finished touching up the paint, then did a lot of other little organizing projects around the house until he got off work and we could do the rest of the chair rail and all of the wood slats spaced out around the bottom half of the wall. Kelli arrived as we were in the midst of all of this, so she took some lovely pictures :)

Anyway after Lars got all the wood up (and did a fabulous job...although not very happily) I stayed up painting all of it till about 12:30 that night. I just have to say that I Love, love, love how it turned out! It looks so good and is exactly what I had wanted!

Good thing we kept busy, because we were so worried about the boys...well mostly Gunnar. Ashton has had a blast at his soccer camp and just playing non stop with Hunter! But poor Gunnar ended up getting sick again and was up throwing up most of Monday night and was still not feeling too well off and on Tuesday. We kept being on the verge of going to get him, but then he'd perk up and feel a little better so we never did. But then unfortunately Nana got sick, then early this morning Ashton did and he had to miss his camp today :( I feel so bad about the whole situation and just can't wait to get down there this afternoon to see them. Gunnar keeps calling me crying and asking when we're ever going to come back. He is so done and I'm so ready to have them back here. Just praying they don't pass it all along to us :)

(all of those other posts are almost done, just need to put pictures in them...stay tuned)
