A little of this & that!

Nat has done remarkably well this week (still one more day to go this week!)  This morning, I am pretty sure she was eating her cereal asleep though!!! She really seems to like her teacher, and the specialty teachers as well (i.e. PE!!) She told me yesterday that they had learned about the color red and circles.  She said that she knew all about both so the teacher told her to learn how to spell the word red, which she came home doing!! I was impressed!! She also learned her 5 digit lunch account number in one day flat.  Too bad I can't get logged into the system to add any $ to the account though!! Tomorrow is PIZZA DAY, the ONLY DAY that Nat will consider the school food and I DON'T HAVE TO PACK A LUNCH!!!!!!!!  I WILL tape $2.40 to her arm tomorrow morning if I have to!!!!!!!

I would show a pic of how cute Nat looked today, but it's late and my camera is MIA.  I may add it in tomorrow!!

Nat's BFF Mia got a hair cut from another classmate.  Per Katie, it was more of a trim than a cut-thank goodness!!  Kiddos are crazy fast with scissors!! And why is it that when you hand a young child a pair of scissors that the logical thing to do is cut someone's hair of all things?! Hmmmmm....

I am working on a few things for the kitchen, here they are:

This is an old frame that I had.  It is a kind of antique goldish color. As you can see, I started painting it before I took a "BEFORE" pic.

 I have had this basket for ages. I decided to not spray paint it (that would have required a trip to Wal-Mart),  but use red acrylic paint to distress it a bit.  I put about a million more coats on it. 

 This lonely candle stick was originally a brassy color, I just slapped on some turquoise-ish blue paint on it.

 OK. Here is layer 1 of the frame painting process.

All of this stuff is going above my cabinetry in the kitchen.  I have no more step by step pics. (Nice tutorial, huh?)  I hope to have everything completed and in place tomorrow.  I'll just have to leave you in suspense until then...............
