Projects

So we've had a busy week. Work has been crazy for Shawn. We have been working on getting our projects done. One of the projects was to recover the chairs that our landlord included with renting the house. They were all stained; why anyone would get white chairs I honestly don't know. We've gotten to all of one chair so far, but here it is beside one of the uncovered chairs:


Improvement, no? The big project this weekend has been stripping a wallpaper border out of Ezra's room and then painting over where it had been. It was quite the job, and took all of Friday night and most of the day Saturday (with a few breaks, since its hard to work on this stuff with a 10 month old awake). The wallpaper was basically falling off of one of the walls. Before:

During removal:



After:


I think it looks a lot better, even if you can tell that it was amateurs that painted it.

We were still able to find a decent amount of time to play while Ezra was awake though. He loves chasing Susan around the house. She'll run a little ways and then wait for him to chase her, and then run a little more before he catches her. He laughs up a storm (especially when he's tired).

We were talking last night a bit, and Ezra was just playing around in the living room. We turned around and he had plunged head first into his toy bin. By the time we got the camera, he had righted himself. He was pretty proud of himself for climbing into the toy bin all by himself.
This afternoon was just a lazy afternoon, once Ezra went down. He didn't get a morning nap since we were at church, and he wasn't about to fall asleep in a new exciting place. It will be nice to have him back in his own room again. Two nights doesn't seem like much, but he likes to have his own space to play. We like to have an easy place to watch him too. We took a bunch of pictures of him, playing around with the camera. Here are some of the best ones:




Isn't he cute?
