Remember this post? Honey made a corn bag set to go along with the giant Jenga. Our plan was to paint it coral to go along with our wedding color, but we couldn't seem to find the right color and he ended up painting them white. Since I thought they'd be white, I ordered green and yellow corn bags for my Mr. John Deere Green. Then he came home one night and surprised me with the perfect paint color!
I love them. Except, how bad are these going to clash?
I bought them from this shop on Etsy - I thought about ordering a couple sets that would match better, maybe dark and light grey, but at the end of the day, who's going to lose sleep over it? Most certainly not I. Plus, it's like a little piece of me and a little piece of him. How corn-y is that? :)
I'd like to know what you call this game. Him and his friends call it plain old 'Bags', I say 'Bean Bags'.
When I hear it referred to it as 'Cornhole' it makes me cringe. Every. Single. Time.
Maybe because all I can think of is Beavis and Butthead...
Then I am left repeating things like 'Cornolio' and 'Bungholio' over and over in my head in a ridiculous voice. Oh Beavis.
And by Birdie, I mean pretty green paint. There was a sneak peek here, but we finally got the pole barn finished! We can no longer direct our lost friends by explaining 'the house with the ugly green pole barn'.
I think this lovely, mint-ish green was a popular color in the seventies and that roof was getting to be a fungus, yellow color. Plus, three out of the four sky lights were leaking every time the rain came in. So this spring when our local hardware had a paint sale - buy one gallon get one free, we decided that, even though we weren't quite ready to paint, we couldn't pass up two free gallons.
After a few months of the paint just sitting in the pole barn, we finally had a free weekend where the weather cooperated so we got to work.
We slapped a fresh coat of paint on everything. Front, sides, doors AND roof. A little boring, but we are much happier with it.
How about that roof now? The giant water hole isn't usually there, we've had an excessive amount of rain lately. Kelly jokes that we should just turn it into a duck pond.
And here are the bright new, crack-free skylights. Yay to no more setting buckets out when it rains!
I'm not sorry to say that we won't miss the old eye-sore.
