Day 9 of the Halloween Decoration Special Feature and I PAINTED LAST NIGHT
Another Halloween decorations duo. I added captions.
I made them. I intended for the one on the right to look scary, but he came out looking peeved. Maybe he's angry that I gave him pointy teeth with a massive overbite. Oh well. If I ever am really desperate for food, I'll open him up. He's not filled with pumpkin seeds, he's got pinto beans in him. Maybe that accounts for his look--he's suffering from an acute case of gastric distress. And the other pumpkin fears the inevitable "outburst."
The maple tree in the side yard has finally decided to get with the program of autumn. Can't wait to jump in a pile of those leaves!
Lookie, lookie, lookie!
The paint color? Colgate (Crest? Aquafresh?) Spearmint with Tartar Control! Ha, not really. But it does reek of toothpasty color, doesn't it? I can almost smell the cleansing aroma of toothpaste in the room. The above picture shows Jim painting, but in reality, I did most of it. Although he got to do all the hard parts--above the cupboards and cutting in up by the ceiling.
Hayley gets in on the action, although she didn't last long. She said her hands and arms started to hurt. Carpal tunnel from cutting in? Whatever.
And this is what the room looks like now. The paint looks kinda blotchy but that's because it wasn't completely dry.
We finish cutting in today (hopefully) and then we paint blue polka dots on the dark wall.
And think fast thoughts for Paul who is going to the conference cross country meet this evening. Neither of us parents will be able to watch the meet, sadly. Paul is fine with that. I'll be able to watch the Shakopee meet though.

I happen to know she's got like 30 boxes of Hot Pockets in her freezer. And some frozen lard.
I can hear her huffing and rolling her eyes at us already.
The room is really shaping up!
