Saturday

So I took a few days off of obsessing over the basement. I haven't even been down there in a few days. Then this morning I had to go down there to get something and when I peeked into the TV room I got super excited! I love the paint! It took me a few days to get used to it. The first couple of days I was having a bit of panic about it and worrying that the colors were just too...much. Too dark, too bright, too bold, too something.

But today I looked at it and I think it's perfect. It's not going to seem like too much when the whole project is done. Looking at it with fresh eyes today I could invision the finished product instead of just focusing on the paint and I think we're going to absolutely love it. It looks like a completely different room than it did before and that's a good thing. I wanted a drastic change. It NEEDED a drastic change. They're coming next Friday to do the carpet and I can't wait.

Today we're just kind of hanging out around the house. Shawn is working today and it snowed last night and is super cold outside, so it was a good day to just stick close to home. I'm doing a bit of online Christmas shopping. I need to find matching pajamas for the boys for our yearly Christmas Eve photo and I'm having a really hard time this year. Josh is in adult sizes now, so trying to find something in both Josh and Matthews size that matches is hard. I'm afraid I'm going to have to abandon my online search and actually brave the mall. I try to avoid that place like the plague in December. If anyone knows where to find matching plaid flannel pajama bottoms in both adult and kid sizes, preferably online, I would love to hear it!

Have you tried Old Navy for PJ's?

Good luck, I hate the mall too!

The sizes I needed were sold out at Old Navy online, but I might run over there and see what they have in the store. At least Old Navy isn't at the mall, lol! :) Thanks for the suggestion!

Lands End. Good luck!

Ah! Lands End! I don't know why I didn't think of them because I usually like their stuff. I just checked there and they're out of stock of the sizes I need in the style I really like, but they have the range of sizes I need in other styles, so maybe I'll branch out and go with stripes instead of plaid this year, because Lands End does have some cute striped PJ pants that would work. Hmmm...

Thanks for the suggestion!

Wendy, I just saw this link a friend posted...Maybe you don't have to run out and online ordering is still an option!
