before and after....

Since we have been in our lovely house for almost three years (only 27 more to go), we have only just begun to paint our very very very white walls. Here is the dining room, taped, without our blinds, before we painted.The dining room into the kitchen...And after. I know it doesn't look much different, but it is this very light minty color. The paint card called it "Lemon Sage," but it looks like mint ice cream to me.I love it in the kitchen, but am still unsure about the dining room. Since we plan to replace the floor and the furniture, I believe this is still a work in progress.This pic was taken without the flash, hoping to get truer of the color. I am not sure it helped.
:-)

Lastly, here is a video of our big walker. It's about a min and a half - beginning with her on the hunt for a cat. Which is big game in our house.

Finally: Halloween....

Long time, no blog. What have we been up to? Well, I won the apple pie throw down. Yay me! I have been overly overwhelmed at work, which, of course, leads to being overwhelmed at home. Speaking of home, we have decided on the colors that we will be painting our downstairs and I am hoping we can get started on that painting this weekend!!! Yay! I want to banish the white walls of nothingness!

Olivia is doing well at school. She has been moved to the high reading group! Mia is working at walking, although, she is crawling more than walking. We have started pulling her hair back and she has officially moved into her 18 month clothes! She still has the tiniest feet I've ever seen.

;-p

Tony is in PA for school and contemplating the 80 mile drive to Philly. He really wants a cheesesteak.

Below are our Halloween pics. There are a lot, so make sure that you have time! ;-)
