thank god for non-toxic paint

We raised the wall! One cinderblock makes a huge difference, even Mark can't see over it now. I started painting it a sort of medium grass green. When I posted this picture, I realized it's almost the exact color of the background of my blog!

It looks soooo much better. I really want to finish BUT Sophie wakes up from her nap.

"Sophie if Mommy paints, can you not touch the wet green parts?"

Sophie- "Only the red parts, Momma"



Yeah, right. Yes, clearly I am more than a bit deluded about my daughter's ability to stay away from wet paint. We are two of a kind sometimes.

She turns to me, covered in green paint, "Momma, I am so happy!"

Me, too.
