Color

Most of my walls are white. Painting intimidates me, but I'm constantly picking up paint
samples and dreaming up what color I'd paint my walls. I find myself asking what steps we'd have to take to paint such and such a room. Then I'd be pregnant and decide it wasn't a good time. Then I thought it'd be better to leave the walls "as is" so I wouldn't mind when they got a little roughed up by small children. But last Saturday at Home Depot, I saw $5 "oops paint" in a color I thought I might like, so we picked it up. For the bathroom. Our very small bathroom. It couldn't be that difficult. And it wasn't...for me! Kalai spent about 3 hours removing the border and taping! Kent put the stuff on the walls to cover the holes, DJ sanded, and I got to paint. I like this!
It's not done yet, but I think I'm going to like it. It's actually a darker color than this. Kalai called it "dark chocolate" as it really has a very brown look to it.
Now...for the rest of the house. What are your suggestions?

Today...

we woke up to snow...on green leaves,Kade practiced his new skill of piano playing, and Levi donned his winter gear to go play in (actually eat) the snow.
