Of Paint Samples and Changing Seasons

I have the best intentions, really. I mean to blog so much more often than I do, but lately it's been really hard to carve out some time to stop doing all the other things I've been doing and sit down to document all that doing. As a reminder to myself, I need to blog about: Delancey. Go. It will change your life. Cannon Beach. I went recently. Core Fusion. Also life changing. For now, I'm busy. It is officially Fall, Jack is in school and I am nesting. No, not pregnant nesting, just Autumnal nesting. Which involves big plans to organize closets, bring sweaters out of storage and make my house cozy. Which is harder than it looks. Kayleen asked how my Summer picture project turned out(see above). I missed so many days and I printed out pictures that I never got around to putting up, so there isn't one for every day of Summer but I still think it was a success. The boys loved seeing the collection grow, and I was surprised by how many people became invested in the progress. I'm going to do it again for Autumn, hopefully with more consistency. I bought some Fall-themed scrapbooking paper and the string and clothespins are already up, so now I just need to make the time for it. I've realized lately that it would solve a lot of my life's problems if I got up earlier in the morning, but since that's my least favorite thing to do in the world I've had trouble with motivation. I woke up at six this morning for no good reason. It was dark and cold, and totally unappealing. So I went back to sleep until it was lighter and warmer, and my sister showed up with her kids so I kind of had to function. I think the fact that it gets darker earlier now will make it easier to get to bed at a more reasonable hour, which will in turn help with the earlier rising. Plus, we're working on getting the master bedroom painted and when we're done I will actually want to spend time in there, again assisting in the whole bedtime thing. I've got a plan :)
