our door


We had an interesting day.... I decided to finally paint our front door. The boys and I scrubbed it down after lunch and Ryan helped me prime it when Matthew was napping. It turned out pretty good:) While I was letting the 1st coat dry our cat snickers decided to check out the paint tray.... just like in the cartoons we had red little kitty paw prints all the way through our house and under our bed. SNICKERS!!!! Miraculously it came up pretty good from the carpet and the kitty feet. burgess is in the kitty hospital getting fixed and getting declawed. I can't imagine what mess he would have made! I guess red paint looks pink at first??? Well, I was freaking out and even called my neighbor over to see if she thought it looked pink. It dried and it is very red:) Sorry the picture isn't better. We'll get a better one in the sunlight tomorrow:)

Nice job Debbie! How did you get the paint out of the carpet? That can be difficult.

I love it! You did a great job. Do you think they would let me do it at the apartments? :)

oxyclean is wonderfull for everything! It came right up. However, being down close to the carpet I couldn't help but notice all the other spots that I should also be scrubbing up....I had to make myself think only about the pink spots....it was good therapy for my almost-obsessive compulsive nature:)
