Weekend Projects

A lot is going on this weekend. A lot of painting...Finishing up the bathroom (just need to do the entry way.)

Picked out our kitchen ceiling color. Lovely Buff. Amazing how colors look sooo different on the ceiling. This is nap time project.

Got the "dream" light to replace our pos one in our kitchen. EEK! Hope it looks as amazing in our kitchen as I'm thinking....

The next project we decided on was to paint the front door. We decided to go this route  instead of shelling out $400+ for a new door. Currently the door is an ugly gray and the trim work around the window is like yellow. Yucky! So I'm going to paint the trim work white. and the door.........Lyndhurst Duchess Blue. Definitely bright, but the color chip looks good next to the brick.....so crossing our fingers!! I wanted a color since we don't have shutters to give it a pop.

Don't worry I'll take pictures during the project. I might do some more painting outside (The trim work at the top of the brick and the siding.) since it's so pretty and Aiden is obsessed with playing outside.

But more exciting news....Tuesday the contractor is coming to talk about our plans for the removal of the sliding glass door and sidewalk. EEEEEK! So excited to get that started. Hoping to have that done before planting season. Hydrangeas here we come! Bonus found a nursery less than 5 miles away that will give us a "local" discount. Yeah buddy!

On a different unrelated topic. We are having some major trouble with Aiden's sleeping patterns. We used to be on a 7pm-6am schedule. Now it's 7:30/8pm-12am. WTF! Then he stays up till about 3/4am. I've been trying everything in the book to get him back to normal (Even gave his paci back). Giving him shots of benadryl before bedtime....and that only pushes it back to 2am wake ups. He doesn't do it everyday like every other. But enough to drain me. And he seems to only do it on the days when Wes has work so as Wes is getting ready for work I'm having to get up with him only running on about 3 hours sleep. DRAINING!!! Those are the days I hate when Wes goes to work at 2am. But luckily he takes over in the evening so I just cook and relax.

Some days Aiden is wide awake wanting to play. Some point between 2am-4am I pass out on the couch and wake up to find Aiden sleeping ontop of me or at the end of the couch. Which scares me....because what if he gets into something during that blurry unconscious time and I'm so out of it I don't wake up! Freaks me out. Or I love when I do fall asleep and he hits me saying "Mommy play!" and hands me a car. haha The days he does sleep in it's only till 5am, but I'm like HALLELUJAH! because at least then I'm getting my 7/8 hours of sleep. REALLY looking forward to this stage going away......for my sanity.
