4 day weekends

Friday we went skiing (Ryan's first time staying with us and not going to a lesson). My boys are getting so old!

Saturday Ryan had basketball
Sunday we went three hours south to Buena Vista CO to some hot springs.
It was super cool, Ive never been to something like that.

Upgrades

We seem to go in waves of upgrades to the house. STILL working on taking the house from 1996 to 2018.

We had originally painted the nude wood cabinets white in the laundry room. I do not recommend the "Cabinet Kit" from home depot. We wiped down cabinets, taped, did multiple coats of paint and have been unhappy with the results for the last 2-ish years of living with the white cabinets. The paint quality was just garbage. Knowing that the kitchen cabinets are being painted in March I thought it would be a good idea to test out the grey paint color I was thinking for the kitchen island by painting the laundry room cabinets that test color.
Sherwin Williams Dorian Grey for the cabinets, walls are repose grey in the kitchen

 I painted the wood trim around the ceiling inlay white, it has been raw wood and was I think the final piece of trim I had left to paint in the house (yay, happy dance)
