Update to this post: I am finished with his quilt! Yeah!! It took about 4 weeks or so. Not too bad, I think.
I have 4 very active children. And, unfortunately, they have one very nonactive mother today. It’s almost like I can’t afford to be tired. There is so much that needs to be done, and I have already been sitting here for too long. Why am I tried? I could blame it on being 30+ weeks pregnant. That would be convenient and understandable. But it’s more than that. I stayed up the other night waaaaay to late. I had good reason to, it’s just that now I’m feeling the effects of it.
Why did I stay up? I was painting. Much needed, touch up painting. I touched up our cabnets in the kitchen, the door frame going into the downstairs bathroom, the baseboard cover in the bathroom (it was really gross!), a few pencils marked walls in our dinning room (okay, a lot of walls), the baseboard cover in the dinning room, some grubby, pencil/crayon/marker marked walls in the living room and this:
The orange strip in the first picture was a “ruler” that marked our children’s height at birth and every birthday. Adam had the really good idea to make a “family tree” since our “family tree” of pictures is on the same wall (you can see the pictures in the first picture, as well). So the tree you see is what we came up with. And the last picture is a close up of the trunk to show how I marked their height. Maacah is the purple, Grace is the pink, Isaac is the blue and Malachi is the yellow. Except for Malachi’s, the other colors are their favorite colors. ( And the reason for 2 pictures of the tree is because not all children were in one picture. Gotta be fair, ya know? Sheesh!)
Yesterday, I “updated” the stencil that is in our living room. The pink was so faded that you could barely see it up close and the red was peeling away, or something. 
Anyway, I painted the pink a darker color and painted over the red again (this time using real wall paint). Here are the results:
