Blue

"Blue" was one of Austin's first words. It has always been his favorite color and I think he's been a little bit sad that we painted the playroom blue but not his. So on Monday night, during our night time prayers, I thanked Heavenly Father for his blue room (thinking about his cute blue furniture) and Austin interjected, "and thank you for my white walls, and I don't really like that color, it's not my favorite color." Nathan and I decided it was probably time we gave him some blue walls. So on Wednesday I let the kids watch a little too much TV while I worked like a crazy woman turning his room blue. After showering--but before putting on clothes--Austin, Olivia, and I went into Austin's room to take the tape off the baseboards and ceiling. Somehow I managed to lock us all in his room (with drying paint on the walls). We had no idea when Nathan was getting home and I couldn't call my neighbor to help because I wasn't dressed. Fortunately I called Nathan and he was just leaving the hospital so we only had to wait about 20 minutes for him.

I was worried the blues of his furniture would clash with the wall paint but I think the finished room actually looks quite perfect for a silly little boy who loves the color blue.
