filled with pizza & painting
i love to paint
i love that it changes the look of a room
and you can feel like you made huge improvements in a few hours!
on saturday we went over to the home of our dear friends, russ & lisa. my job was to paint their eldest sons room with lisa, michael's job was to spend the day hanging out with russ & the boys. so, off lisa & i went, first to starbucks and then to rona. soon after, we were painting his room a beautiful silvery grey color. marcus came by within 30 minutes asking us if we were done yet! wouldn't that have been lovely? lisa & i spent the day painting in that room, talking about everything & anything. it was good to be able to visit for so long. russ, michael & the boys played computer games, mini sticks & eventually went to the golf dome for mini golf. when we were done our 2 coats of paint, lisa & i braved the cold for a walk to tim hortons for "roll up the rim" mochas. we sat there watching the sky turn from light to dark. then we went back to the house to spend time around the table enjoying some delicious pizza. marcus & simon continued to make us laugh, and it was just so good to spend the day with them. simon even took the time to explain to me "how his brain works" - that kid can always make me laugh. next was mini cupcakes, wipeout, bed time & then some parks & recreation watching. it is always so relaxing at their home and i love that. i hope my home can always be somewhere that friends can come & feel relaxed and at home.
the next day we had the opportunity to paint with 2 of our other favorite people - josh & leah. we are SO excited that soon they will be living just minutes from our house. how perfect! it is so nice to paint with multiple people. each of us had a job, and within a couple of hours the downstairs rec room had transformed. we had good conversations, good music, good pizza & good beer. we love to be with our family, and their new home already feels relaxed & homey to me.
to top off a wonderful weekend, i got to spend a couple hours with the sweetest boy around, my nephew Everett! Leah dropped him off to hang out with me at my house. it was so fun to have him over! we found a million different things to do, but by far my favorite moments were playing at the piano with him, and snuggling with him on the couch as he was getting sleepy. i simply love that boy.
pizza, painting & people. how wonderful.
