It is finished

Yay!

I took this ordinary glass cabinet door...

Sanded the shiny out of it...

Painted it this most delicious color...

Sprayed the back of the glass with a matte black finish...

Distressed it a little...

Sanded it a little more...

Cleaned up my mess...

Added a few knobs and hanging gear...

C'est Fini... (It is finished!)

Not to bad for a few years of french in high school

and some patience to watch paint dry!

Curt is the leader of our family. He's a computer nerd and computer fixer extraordinaire! He is a lover of airplanes, 'nuf said. You'll find him on Saturday mornings up with the sunset and out at the flying field with RC airplanes and a nice sunburn.

Shellee is a straight-talking, Mama-to-all. I'm a foodie, a bookworm, and a seamstress-in-the-making. I love my Crazy Farm. If you smell something good coming from my home, you're welcome to come in and have a taste! Once you're my friend, you're always my friend.

Aaron (Buddy, Fuzzy) is 14 and growing... really growing (upwards and outwards!) He loves running, riding his bike, hanging with friends, and his little brother. He's fabulous with his younger siblings and is seriously funny.

Alyssa (Lissie, Lou, Peapod) is 13! She's a great combination of all things fun. She's in Jr. High and loves it! She's an artist at heart with an imagination in soul. Best babysitter... EVER!

Hayden (Tate, Tater Tot, Three) is 6. He's our comic-relief. His little brain is always on the move, quickly followed by his body. He's very passionate about his wants. He's a follower of Aaron and thinks that he can do anything, but pick up after himself. He's the alien with blonde hair. Who knows where that came from?

Olivia's our surprise 4th child. She's 2, she's adorable, she's a miracle. She has a spirit that touches everyone she meets. She was born in July at 33 weeks. She has Spina Bifida, but that's not stopping her! She's well cared for by all of the family members. She has a really cool looking scar on her back and a shunt in her head. She's perfect for us! Better watch out though, she has a wheelchair and knows how to use it (especially going over toes!)

I'm so tired that...

* I didn't turn on the laundry dryer, when I came back in 2 hours to fold it, I thought the dryer was broken because the clothes were still wet. I started to cry until I realized that I just forgot to push the ON button.

*Hayden got 3 baths in one morning. He didn't say a word because he loves swimming in the tub. Funny kid.

* I didn't remember what order people left the house in the morning. I was mad at the older kids because they were late for school. It was 6:30, they weren't up and ready!~ (Their school starts at 9.) Oops.

* I forgot how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

* I got the kids up and ready for school... then woke up; it had been a dream.

* I wanted chocolate and settled for bread, I didn't have the energy to find the chocolate I'd hidden.

* I couldn't remember the word "spoon".

* I changed Olivia's diaper, then Hayden, then Olivia. I couldn't remember if I'd already done it. Better safe than sorry.

* I forgot to rinse my body and hair when I got out of the shower, then couldn't figure out why there were bubbles on my towel.

* I left one contact lens in...ouch.

* to put deodorant on. I'm sorry to all those who smelled me that day.
