My husband is incredibly.....

"My husband is incredibly__________"

This sentence can be completed by many different words.

Silly, goofy, cute, cleft-chinned, hairy, the list goes on and on.

One word that I forget sometimes is "talented". He doesn't get much chance to use his artistic side these days. We have a few of his pieces hanging up and people occasionally comment on them, but it's easier to see his other strengths. Loving, patient, silly, sweet.

But dang is he talented!!!

Soon after we moved into this house he stated that he was going to paint a mural on Zane's wall. For 3 and a half long years have I waited. At the end of June he announced that it was now time to do it. He labored for three long days, drawing it out first, then priming the space. Zane was moved out of the room for what we thought would be a week at most. That turned into 2 weeks, then 3. We went camping in the beginning of July and Curtis went to that conference in Wichita for a whole week. Poor Zane was sleeping on a sleeping bag in the play room. He actually did really well.

But finally, FINALLY, the room was completed over the weekend. And man, is it cool! Curtis still needs to paint the other walls in the room and now I have a great excuse to put up a new window treatment and buy a new bedspread.

Zane LOVES his new wall. For the time being he is sharing a room with Violet. I teased Curtis that he needs to paint a fairytale land on the opposite wall for her. He didn't laugh. This room is the man-cave. Spidey's Hole, if you will. Violet's room will have to wait.

And now we'll never be able to move because we won't be able to leave it.

Ever.
