chalkboard wall

This is old news…we're talking like over a year old, but oh well.

This is our chalkboard wall in our kitchen.  I just took this picture today because it's in a really awkward place to photograph and with our kitchen being remodeled right now, there are some walls down allowing me to get a better angle.  We did this project last September-ish (?).  Cody and I smoothed out the textured wall and painted it with chalkboard paint.  Then, came the fun part of designing/drawing our Name Thing (very technical terminology I'm throwing out here…try to keep up) for the top.

More to come on the Kitchen remodel…Almost done!

Finding his "thing"

Kyle has been trying out different activities for a while and nothing has really stuck.  He likes to be challenged, and he needs excitement and variety.  He likes learning new skills.  He loves chocolate, bows and arrows, creating, cooking and getting dirty.  Need I say that he was in hog heaven when he went to his first Boy Scouts outing?  He got to shoot a REAL bow and arrow, cook a chocolatey/marshmallowy banana thing over a campfire (which was very messy...bonus points), and build a miniature boat and float it down a stream all in ONE DAY!  So I guess we have a Boy Scout now.
