Paint! 

Yellow paint, to be exact!  Maybe I should have entitled this post, "what's happening TO our house."  It's been a flurry of activity as my husband's friend and the boys collaborate on this major project.  The house was a lovely slate blue, which I was personally quite fond of.  We haven't painted since we moved in (naughty, naughty, I know) and so it's been about 12 years.    Therefore, the poor dehydrated wood is sucking down the paint, LOL.  It's a very lovely, buttery shade, and I will try to post a picture here . . .

  So, as you can see, we're not done yet!  Actually they finished that side (for the most part) last night, but there's still the fourth side and a bit of rolling to be done, and then the trim work starts.  Woohoo!  My porch and trim will be cream and the door is going to be a deep green.  It's a big change.  Very happy and cottage-y looking.  Fun!

I spent part of yesterday with my dear friend and homeschool-group leader Kim, going over the older boys' transcripts so they're ready to be mailed off to the high school for next year (the transcripts, not the boys.)  That was quite a project!  At one point during the process, when one of them was complete, I got teary!  I had to pull it together, but whew, it was a strange feeling thinking that I am *done*.  Later I had the opposite feeling--thinking that I'm DONE as far as their school is concerned--I'm done being the only one totally responsible for everything--and it was such a *relief*!  Women are something, aren't we???

And in other fascinating news, LOL, I think I may be heading down to Lakewood tonight to check out the Florida Revival that's being talked about everywhere--MSNBC even had it on the other night.  There are people flying here from all over the world, and there are reports of amazing healings happening there.  I've heard enough and watched some and I am just so curious to see what it's really all about.  I know God is calling me closer to Himself and I really want everything He has for me.  I believe that means more in general, and I'm anxious to see it all!  So I should have a big report tomorrow!
