This weekend was full of painting and paninis! Yesterday, we woke up and got started on the painting we had planned to do. The first job was the hallway going up our stairs and into the upstairs that we had patched and just needed to repaint the whole thing – same color as before. The second job was our guest bedroom. It was two colored blue and cream room – not horrible, but not my style. This took a lot  When I was younger, we used to always have broccoli soup in the winter. It was a favorite of ours, but we have not had it in forever. So when my parents decided to come down for the night, I thought it would be fun to have broccoli soup with our pizza! It was -10 degrees out, so hot soup was a good choice!
