What a day!!

Very productive day today! It makes you feel so good, getting tasks done, and working on projects. Makes you feel so good. Today I got the bookcase repainted, re-arranged the living-room, re-arranged the kitchen and got the living-room and kitchen super clean.
The only thing I didn't do that I wish I had was hand wash the kitchen floor. On the other hand I moved furniture, vacuumed places that haven't seen a vacuum in too long. It's funny really. I like to think that I keep my house pretty clean. I mean it may be a bit cluttered at times with all the munchkin toys all over the place or the laundry; I really hate doing laundry, it seems like a never ending to do. But otherwise it's clean. However, when you move furniture and appliances around and then see dirt and hair balls and who only knows what else hidden away, you start to feel like the place really isn't that clean.
Now I move the fridge, not all the way but I always rotate it out at least once a month to suck up the plethora of hair that collects behind it, but today, oh my goodness! There was soo much hair under it!! Then I got really ambitious and decided to swap the handles on the fridge. WOW!! Way more of an undertaking that I planned. The only relief about it was as bean was watching me get increasingly more frustrated about the whole project she turns to me and says "Mommy you can do it, you just have to fix it a little bit harder." At which point I had to just drop the ratchet and laugh for a minute.
She really was trying to help but there are definitely times where she needed to go do her own thing.
That however was the dangerous part of the day. We had a small shelf that we were using as a supplement for the fact that we have little to no cabinet space in which to put food. The only awkward part was it was actually a neat little shelf that our previous neighbors had their kids put their hand prints all over; very cute but a little weird since they weren't bean's hands. So today I finally decided it should be re-painted.
I had bought two cans of black spray paint when I bought all the stuff to build the fence; don't ask me why I bought two but on the  plus side they were only $0.98 so no big deal that I had way too much. and so I figured extra paint and a shelf that needs painting, good deal. The downside, I didn't have enough. So I thought for a min, and remembered there was some spray paint in the basement, so I went to investigate. Tori of course had to follow and we found a gold, green and more black, yay! Now the only issue, she wanted to paint. So I thought 'ok well we can get creative with it and she can paint it and we can custom decorate it.' Again the downside, aside from letting her handle the spray paint cans the only paint she has is either water colors or washable finger paint. so I thought well we'll just re-do the hands, I can trace hers and then spray paint a soft outline of them. However, it was a miserable fail. I ended up totally covering my hand in gold spray paint and just big runny blobs on the shelves. So we touched it up with black and then decided to use the gold to spray nice light highlights across the whole thing. Personally I thin it came out great, little one " Uh oh mommy, you made a mess. I guess you have to paint it again." I almost peed my pants laughing so hard.
as an end result we have a self that actually almost looks like wood if you ask me and I have my living room re-done, my kitchen re-set and for tomorrow.... the front porch and tiny's bedroom, maybe mine too we'll see how motivated I am...
