His weekend "off."

Yes, the glorious weekend was here. Trav's week off of treatments. In my head I was picturing our family holding hands running through a daisy filled meadow. (Okay, maybe not quite that, but I was really thinking it would be a great family weekend.)

Travis had other plans. He really wanted to get some jobs around the house done while he was feeling good, and with Adyson still not feeling 100 percent, we rolled with it.

Of course, we woke up to snow. Lots of it covering those flower beds he was so desperate to dig into. So we opted for plan B. Painting Adyson's room.

When we first moved in we painted Adyson's nursery a lovely shade of yellow. The color was fine, but then Adyson was born and had her oh-so sensitive eyes. When the sunlight hit her walls it was really bright and made them water. Her room was next on our very long list of painting projects and we were excited to get it done.

I am so pleased with the finished product. I know, it's yet another green room....apparently we love green..., but it is much calmer and Adyson loves it. Also, my friends Crystal, Mandi, and Barbara surprised me with this darling shelf for our house, and I was able to put it in Adyson's room, painted bubble-gum pink of course, and hang my favorite quilt from Grandma Kidman from it. I have wanted to hang this quilt for such a long time, so thanks girls! I love the shelf and am so grateful to you for your kindness!



While the paint was drying the sun came out and the snow melted and we were able to get some yard work done. Dead-heading, weeding, and Trav even swept out the garage. I think he was really thankful to be able to get to all of this because it has been eating at him for a while.

It's looking a little bare without all those weeds...time to plant flowers I guess.

Saturday night Travis had to do month end, meaning he works all through the night, sometimes till 6 in the morning. So in the morning I made him this delicious brunch, and we skipped church and relaxed and watched basketball for the day. We missed church, but still enjoyed the relaxation we needed!

Mmm...aebleskivers. Delicious.

I know that it doesn't sound like a great weekend "off". I think that Trav worked harder this weekend than usual, and I'm sure he is totally exhausted. We didn't run through daisy fields, or even make it to the zoo, but this weekend was totally fun in its own way. It was great to spend time working side by side and just chat with each other. I am constantly thankful that my husband has his priorities straight and takes such great care of our family. He always gets done what needs to be done. And we have a zoo day planned in a few weeks...so we will get there eventually!

One more thing. Our next Paint project is pretty much the rest of the house. The color in the kitchen, hallway, front room....you get the idea. I really want a nice earthy tan. Anyone have a favorite color to share. I'm having a really hard time deciding! Thanks.
