    This past Sunday was my birthday and my husband took me away for a long weekend. We went to Wisconsin Dells and just relaxed. What my surprise was, was my 2 daughters painted my bedroom while we were away. I have been wanting to paint it for awhile now, but DH wouldn't agree on a color so I hadn't gotten around to do it. Abby came home from college and enlisted her sister Alex help to paint. My husband had made all the arrangements at our local hardware store for all the paint supplies prior to us leaving. I was totally speechless when I walked in after the weekend and seen that it was painted. I just love them for doing it.
