Sometimes you just have to paint wood

It may be 10:00 pm

The dinner dishes may not have been done

There may be folded laundry on the couch waiting to be put away

I may not have even put away all the items I purchased today

Maybe not all the children are asleep

There may be a million other things I should be doing with sleeping being on the top of the list

But...
...today while shopping at Michael's, I found this cute box that is like one that my sister got as a gift, so I decided to get it and paint it for Bentley's room to hold his books. I really like how it turned out.

Because, hey, sometimes you just have to paint wood!

Side note***
As I was in the kitchen painting and talking to Britta on the phone, Bentley came in, and we had this little conversation:
B: Britta was a bad influence on you.
Me: (Stated a little too quickly) No she wasn't... (then thinking for a second)... How?
B: She had one of those boxes, and then you wanted one too. You were jealous.
(A while ago we had a conversation about repentance or something that brought up the fact that even Mom makes mistakes sometimes, so he's been good to tell me when I mess up as of late. Dang it, I now wish we hadn't had that conversation, and he still thought I was perfect for at least a little bit longer. Anyway, so now that he pointed it out... Jealous? ...maybe I was.)

One more side note***
This is a project that I saw, bought, and completed in less than 12 hours! Now that very well may be a first.
