My last day of work was Friday and it was a half day so I was home by about 12:30. My plan was to move the bookshelves and toys out of Lexi’s room so I could start painting on Saturday. Well, I was a little more motivated than I thought. I put her down for a nap in the library, taped off her room and edged everything while she was sleeping. I even managed to get both coats of the edging done during that nap. She woke up around 4 so I had to stop. I made dinner and ran to Kohl’s (to get picture frames for the bathroom I just finished painting) and a drop cloth for Lexi’s room. After she went to bed I got the first coat on the walls. And Saturday afternoon I got the second coat on and touched up the few spots I missed. After we finished eating dinner everything was dry enough to put her room back together. I still need to get the ceiling paint out and cover up all the places I bumped the ceiling, her closet doors are going to be painted (they will still be white) and I found these decal things that you can stick to the walls that I need to put up, but I am waiting until later this week because I want to make sure the paint it truly dry before sticking something to it.

I put up a few before and after pictures on flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/monkeyouttanowhere) and after I hang pictures in the bathroom I’ll put those up too. The photos of Lexi’s room don’t really do the green justice. The walls are the same color as the green screen they use in the movies.
