I’ve been promising Ava that I would paint her room for weeks now…Really months if you count the first time I mentioned it. So this weekend was finally the weekend. If I didn’t do it now, with the holidays upon us, I realistically would not get to it until the new year.

So I’m thankful that I set out to paint Ava’s room and finished today. More than that, Ava helped me paint and I enjoyed her company as we painted together. She was actually a lot of help despite there being a bunch of paint that I now how to clean off the floors.

We had a great time together, and she loves her new room colors. We’re waiting on new curtains and a new lamp to be delivered, and her “new room” will be complete. I hope this weekend goes into her memory bank under “Good Times with Mommy”. I know that it’s definitely a memory I will hold dear forever.
