brain dump

• I mentioned last week that we had our whole downstairs repainted. We know that eventually we will want to sell this house & realize that MOST people wouldn't appreciate the lime green and bright yellow walls. Hey, we like some color, what can I say? We decided to go ahead and paint before Baby Dos arrives & our lives get a little bit crazier. I say "we" and by that I mean we hired 2 great guys who completed the job in a day & a half! We went from this...

to this! 

I really didn't think I would be crazy about having a neutral color on all the downstairs walls but I actually love it! It is so much brighter & will be so much easier to decorate. Next up, curtains! 

• Grayson and Ben had a guy's day out while I got my hair done on Friday. Apparently they did a little crafting that I didn't know about! 

They made me a plate at the local pottery painting place! ha! Ben said that G held the brush and he "helped" him paint. I would have loved to see those 2 together painting pottery! 

• I have been researching double strollers online and think I would really like the Baby Jogger City Classic. The only problem is that nobody in the Nashville area carries them. So frustrating! A stroller is like a car; you need to test drive them before you buy. It will be difficult to test drive if I can't find one. Come on, Nashville baby stores...get it together! 
• This cold weather is overrated. Our super mild winter has been so nice & now my body is in shock from the below freezing temperatures. If it is going to be this cold, I want some snow. Grayson has snowboots and a snowsuit just waiting for the perfect opportunity to get used! 
• I loved watching the Grammy awards last night!! There were so many great performances & it really does go to show that true talent wins out over the ridiculous outfits/performances. 

I don't get Nicki Minaj. Maybe that makes me old, oh well. A fake Pope as her date? The strange Little Red Riding Hood outfit? Weird. The world already has one Lady Gaga; don't think there is room for another.

Adele on the other hand? I love her. I'm surprised her album still works as often as it is played in my car. I'm so glad she was recognized for her talent all night!
