testing the new pool

We've had a busy past few weeks! We finally got a chance to test out Cade's pool, since the weather has been so nice lately. We've had 2 days where we've had his friends over to play in the yard & water, and I've been loving it. J doesn't love it so much that the house is still really hot in the evenings, but I like it. Mmm, heat.

In renovation news, I've bought our paint. We've got a mudder coming hopefully next week, after which point I'll be painting like a madwoman. Well, actually, I already am. I painted for about 3 hours last night after Cade went to bed - I'm repainting J's bathroom. I've always hated the bland butter yellow walls, so I'm re-doing it with leftover paint from a few other rooms we've worked on in the past. I'll post a photo when it's done! Tonight I'm hoping to paint the doors so they'll be dry before the mudders come and easy to clean up after. Mudding drywall is a messy business! Our budget won't stretch to carpet anymore (we spent more on vacation than we thought we would), so we might just have to leave the floors for now. I'll have to figure out some way to raise the funds. I'm not working right now, so it's going to be tricky!

I got the new Hanson album (shout it out) in the mail last week. I'm really happy with it, and am heading over to Robyn's tomorrow night with it to give it a spin at her place!

We're also going camping in a few weekens, so here's to looking forward to that!
