We were just doing a little bit of painting here, painting paper, painting hands, whatever else comes along on the table. It doesn't really matter because the boys had fun. Jaxon especially loves to see what his hands look like in different colors. You can see the outcome too in the pictures below. It was a fun and paint filled day.
This post is just about some more details of an old victorian home. Some of the details are still there even though we've updated the house to some extent. I like the low lamp light here so it stays, the vintage chairs with such intricate carvings stay too. The radiators stay. I love old radiators that are still in half decent shape. Then we have the flowers outside, Fushia and then we have a hole in the ceiling due to a leak. When it rains that spot leaks so we had to do something about it, like open the ceiling and see where the leak needs patching up. When we did open it we saw the wood inside was black like there was a fire once upon a time but not while the previous owner owned the home so perhaps a long long time ago. Once that was done the hole in the ceiling was patched up.
Next day we got to check out the backyerd to see how it's doing and what is new. It was the fire pit and sitting area that was new. It sits among the beautiful and very tall trees. We had a fire and roasted some marshmallows. We still had Buddy then and we had to keep him on a leash or he would run away while we weren't looking. The kids enjoyed the marshmallows the best. It was like being at Camp.
The car was filled to the rim but the kids didn't mind. They tried to relax in the back but were just wanting to get home. I don't blame them. It was a long tripo but we're getting there.
While hubby drives this is what I do, yup, take selfies. The light is usually good when I'm in the car so why not. At least with this technology of selfies which we didn't have before the kids will finally have some photos of mom too, not just everyone else.
This is another thing I'm doing during the trip are my collaged tags, perfect time to catch up on some of my crafting which I will later use in my handmade journals. I like having a lot of options or a lot to choose from because usually I need a tag that is just perfect.
At last we are home and can finally get out of the car to stretch out then see the rest of the family and then eventually get some food and get a good night's rest.
