We've been enjoying some super, awesome fall weather here.  The kids had an impromptu picnic out back this past Sunday while Chris and I were working.  We {and by we, I mean Chris} were painting the block on our house and cleaning things out...

Not wild about our {and by our, I mean my} choice of paint color.  I'm super impressed with anyone who can choose a color based off of a sample the size of a matchbook...I am no good at it!

 It certainly doesn't look bad in this picture, and it's certainly better than the red it was {see here}...

But, I'm not feeling it...especially from the front where you see a lot more of the roof...the shingles and the paint do not jive!  I will be visiting Lowes to see if they can mess with the color a bit...it needs a lot more grey added too it to make it work.

Keep your fingers crossed for us...

I love this picture. This is one of those ones you will look at in thirty years and say "look at how little you were." And "what were we doing" all that stuff, ya know what I mean? It is a snippet of your family at such a sweet time, who cares about paint colors?

I think it looks great. Although I don't know how I know that because YOU NEED TO POST A PICTURE :) Love the pic of the kids. Colin's feet are ginormous(sp!). He looks like he is ready to grow into those soon. And little sweet slacks Eddie. Loving her.

Four years. Four. That was the length of my blog break.   I'm guessing that whomever once followed me will not be here anymore, and ...
