The kids entertaining themselves by drawing on their life sized cut outs make me happy.
For our date this week, we went to the Home Depot to pick out paint for our dining room and hall. Then on the weekend, we painted the dining room and hall. We painted all the walls, trim, and closet doors. Then we tore up and removed the carpet. We worked pretty much all day for two days. I know you are thinking what an awesome date! Can you hear the sarcasm? It wasn't our most fun date but we feel good that we got so much done. The room isn't not quite done but it is close. We need to clean the hardwood floor and finish the baseboards. When we are done, I'll post the before and afters. It wasn't all work, Dave and I did get to talk and catch up on some good tv and our dining room looks a million times better already.

When we first moved into our I stood the kids against a wall and drew around them and then had them paint themselves. Really wish I had kept that wall painted that way.
I love how the cutout has its hip jetted out to one side and its arm's flexed - real super woman pose. I remember making those when I was little - too cute!
Cute cutouts!
We painted over the weekend too! I don't mind working on the house with my husband as long as the project is going well. Sometimes working on an old house can be stressful.
Cute cutouts! what a great idea!
I bet the kids have lots of fun with those cut outs of themselves. What a neat idea.
=)
I used to love decorating life size portraits.
Your date sounds productive. Sometimes those are the best kind.
Dh and I can't agree on paint colors. Ever.
I love a new color of paint on walls!!
Ah, those life-size cut-outs! Only kids!
Hey, that's really cool! That cut out is just awesome!
