Sickness and painting

Not much to say this weekend. My poor little boys aren't feeling too well, so we've had a quiet weekend.

Apart from 2 mildly sick boys life is pretty good. We are all ready for Christmas, except for some last minute food shopping and wrapping all the presents. Christmas will be quiet this year. Just us 4 on christmas day, and we will catch up with Sal's family the following week. Sal is working her usual Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday shifts over the Christmas weekend.

We have started the preparations for painting our bedrooms in the new year. We plan to paint the 3 upstairs bedrooms, bathroom, toilet, ensuite and hallway/ stairway.
We are in the early stages of planning and currently have far too many colour cards stuck on our walls. We are having fun choosing which colours to paint where... So far, most of the walls will be a neutral off white, the boys will have a sky blue feature wall, we are having a grey/purple feature wall and the bathroom will be a blue/grey or light grey I think. Not sure yet on all this plan.... It's still in early stages. We also plan to paint all the ceilings, skirting boards, doors and frames.

We have started filling holes and sanding some walls. It's going to be a big job, but the house defiantly needs it and we are looking forward to the finished result.

Hopefully I can do another big post soon. All these afternoon shifts at work and boys not napping mean I hardly get on the laptop at all! Sorry.

Feel better soon boys!
Your painting projects sound like big jobs, but you will be so happy that you did it by the time its all done.
We too are celebrating Christmas all by ourselves and meeting up with family the following week. It will feel a little odd, but thinking it will be nice to just relax and not feel like we're in the hoiday rush.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! -HUGS!! M,D,E&E
