Labor Day

Labor Day Monday, September 5th. We had no big plans, just great time at home. The day started off that morning with a chalkboard paint project. I had seen the most brilliant id a on pinterest, that I could not wait to try. Did I mention that I LOVE pinterest, it has the most wonderul ideas.

Our project started with this old door I bought at Canton.

We first slightly sanded the panels of the door. Next, we painted the panels with a magnetic primer. After allowing the primer to dry for 30 minutes the process was repeated 2 more times.

After applying the magnetic primer, we applied 1 thin coat of chalkboard paint, and then allowed that to dry.

The finished product, a chalkboard. This will hang on the wall of the toyroom. We have yet to hang it up, but hopefully in the near future.

This is the side of one of my kitchen cabinents that we also converted into a blackboard. I am very excited about this, hopefully it will keep track of everyone's schedules.

After our morning full of projects, we headed to Wal-Mart to purchase hunting liscenses. This was Hagen's first hunting liscense and he was soo excited.

Erik and Hagen waited to purchase their liscense.
