Cookies and Concrete

So this was the big weekend of painting. And painting is pretty much what I did ALL weekend. I started at 9:30am on Saturday and painted till 8pm Saturday. Then again on Sunday from 7:30am till 3:00pm. And....I am still not done. Got that pesky ceiling trimming to do. The part I dread most cause there does not seem to be a good way to do it without getting paint on the ceiling. Grrrr! Anyway, we LOVE the color and are so happy with it. First though, I made special cookies with Lauren on Friday night. These are so fast and so easy and so yummy.

The ingredients

One yellow cake mix

1/4 c Canola Oil (or 1 c. applesauce)

2 T water

2 eggs

1c peanut butter

2 c chocolate chips

Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes

Now the big basement reveal. We like to call the color CONCRETE. It is really called Creek Bend by Behr paint.

Lauren's newly organized paly area.

I made labels and pictures so she knows where all her things go when she is done playing with them. The black cube storage is from Target.

Looking into the rec room from the stairs. New furniture is next on our list.
