Day 1: no photo's. I did two walls, the one next to the door, and the one behind the bed. I also managed to get paint in my hair, in my clothes, and on one of my feet.

Day 2: See below: did a second lair on the wall behind the bed, and the wall with the window in it. that left me with one wall, the one between door and window. also added more paint to my clothes. i was smart enough to put on the same ones as the day before.

Day 3: see below: I did the last wall, checked the others for spots that i might have missed. luckily, i had not. i also put my son's toys back, and put up the decoration's he likes tmnt and spider-man, but since there is no shop that sells tmnt stuff here, i went with spider-man.

i myself am quite happy with the result. not bad for the first time painting walls.

Capturing dreams
My son's room has been needing its walls painted for a long time.. and i finally decided to give it a try, since i never have done that before myself. seen others do it, but have not done it myself.

bought the paint and other necessary things last week, and started today. managed to do two walls, and will hopefully finish the painting in one or two days, depending on how it goes. while painting the wall, i managed to get some paint on me, too. not much, but still.. and i have no idea how i got paint in my hair.

more news as i continue this little project of mine. o, and anyone here interested in photo's  of said project?

*watches several on friendslist post to do lists, and generally be nervous about going to the comic con. * i am so going to but all off you for piccies!! have fun, everyone that is going.  and keep posting about it, i like to read all the entries about it. dont think i willever be able to go, unless i win a lottery or something like that, but stories and piccies make up for a lot!

also good news on the saffa frond: i am re-programming the site, moving pages around, reformatting some, etc. its getting along nicely, and hopefully will be done soon. maybe i will give a sneak peek or two here soon... if anyone is interested,that is.

i had a nice vacation, even if the water decided to be rainy all week. there was enough to do there to be entertained even withthe rain. piccies can be found here: Link  ((thart is my mom's photobucket. thje photos where taken by her, me and some others. mixed together in that album. ))

one of the things i did was take a tour in a local beer factory (not sure if i translated that correct)0 despite b me not being a beer drinker, it was fun to see how its made.my daugther almost lived in the indoor pool, and my son was  on the playground a lot. we also went away a few times, driving around, shopping (( bougth a new ds game there)) and  we most days would go out to eat. i did not cook that week, and neither did my mom.

the only shade was the thirt family. ((my step-brother and his wife and two kids..)) they had a figth half-way troug the vacation, and after that basically just did what they wanted.. and not asking me, my mom or my step-dad if we wanted to participate. after that day, did not ask them if they wanted to participate in what i did, either. what also bugged me is the way they raise their kids.. basically, if the youngesty son said he wated to do something, like bowling,  they would do it.. seriusly, that  9-year-old basically decided what they where going to do daily, and if he punished him for something.. she would  pull him towards her, and cuddle him, basically canceling any punishment. ((dad saiys: go and sit in your bedroom.. mumsays,  you dont have too, poor kid.. arg.))  in short, it made me glad i am a single mom....at least i dont have figths with my partner.

i  am worried about my step-dad, atm.. he came to the conclusion that he cant go on vacation with his sonÅ› family.. and it hurts him a bit. he has 6 kids. only one visits him, this one. and to have to draw that conclusion cant be easy on him. he sleeps badly, and is so lost in thougth that he forgets things.  me and my mom are keeping a eye on him, at the momend.

my son is still going to the daycare, even now inthe vacation, and will go camping withthem next week. i want to look for a sleeping bag today, so i don't have to loan one.  he is going away for four days.  in those four days, teen and i want to go and see a movie.. we are not sure wich one, thoug, althoug she keeps repeating harry potter... i can easy guess wich movie she wants to see.

with the fansite being down, the other hatcheries not working as they should, and me not having enough credit on yarolds to keep two scrolls up there, i am posting my 9-year olds dragons here.

he catches them himself, mostly (( mum helps with the newer, more rare dragons) , of the abandoned page, and names and breeds them himself, too. normally, he can post them himself, too, on the fansite, even learned him how to trade. okay, it has been only from my scroll to his,  but still.

but due to it being down for a few days already... time for some parental help. and some help from all the nice people on my friendslist, here.. please click on the dragons, and help my kid?
