the chalkboard wall

I had a wild hair one day and decided to paint the stairway to the basement with chalk board paint. I bought the paint, but was totally chicken to do it, so I invited my friend Denise to come. I made lunch for the kids and she painted. It was really a fun morning.

The kids love to draw on it… Wouldn’t a world where the flowers are as tall as trees be cool?

 How about flowers that reach up to the sunshine?

 Someone asked me recently, “How busy is busy?” I told her we have a free day in June – I wasn’t kidding.

 They LOVE a good countdown calendar – and this one has been especially popular. I change it in the morning and sing the number to the Phineas and Ferb theme song… “There’s 40 days until summer vacation, I’ve so much to do ‘fore they end it. So the annual problem for the mom generation – is finding a good way to spend it.”

They think I’m a nerd… but the wall is cool…
