I decided it was time to finish the entryway. One wall was unprimed texturizer and the other was halfway painted with yellow by the previous owner and left that way. So I taped all the carpet edges on the stairs (wish I'd have done that wall before the carpet went in) and primed everything. I tested painting over the yellow paint edge but the yellow was a different finish than the white they were painting over, so the new paint had a different sheen on the two surfaces. It seemed better to prime everything.
The flash washes out the picture, but the color is a darker peat. It looks much better now. Now for painting the living room...
The only costume I am making this year (that I know of) is Nathaniel's, so we went all out on it. He had a homemade bow made out of a bent stick and string from a friend that he wanted to use. And after seeing a make-your-own moccasin kit at the scout shop, he knew he had to be an indian (or blond indiginous north american).
We found some cool embroidered buckskin-like fabric and a ready-made war bonnet.
Little Hiawatha is on the war path.
Not sure what we'll do on Halloween since it is on Sunday this year. Tomorrow the elementary is having a fall carnival, to which the kids can wear costumes, and next Saturday there is a trunk-or-treat at the church so he will get plenty of costume time and candy. Maybe Sunday will be a night to sit on our porch and give out candy and try to meet neighbors. I wonder what trick or treating will be like in this neighborhood...
