Painting

Harry & I decided that we were going practical this year for the kids Christmas presents.  They will still get a toy from S-A-N-T-A but from mom & dad they will get practical.  They don't need a thing!  So we decided we would paint their rooms & decorate for their gifts.  We will decorate the week that Ellaree is off and make a big deal over it.  So of course that means I have three bedrooms to paint before Christmas time.  Well this past Saturday I got Ellaree's room done with the thanks of Lisa's help.  Ellaree helped as well.  She was a huge purple mess by the end but she had a blast.

And she is off!

You should have seen how much purple paint was on the sheet when she was done with this corner

All done

4 purple walls & 1 very happy girl!

 

Also Ellaree received her first "free" pizza award from Book It.  If she reads 20 minutes a day she received a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.  She brought it home on Friday night and we HAD to go out to eat that night.  Needless to say I know where we will be the 2nd night of each month until the end of school.  We are so proud of her.
