Spring Break

Spring break was nice, but I was too tired to blog. I painted from Sun. to Sat. and I think after this I won't ever want to paint again. This is the Easter get together at Butler Haynes Park on Sat. 04/04. Jackie's not too old to hunt for candy.

On Monday, we couldn't paint until the drywall guys were done and cleaned up. The girls got haircuts at Great Clips where my cousin Patrick works. Jackie got a trim and Josie got about 3 inches off. It looks cute though and doesn't tangle as much.On Tues. we started painting after my hair appt. Here's Josie taking a break in the tub. She didn't last long painting.Picnic in the dining room. On Wed. they brought over the DVD player and watched movies while I painted. Thurs. Dad, Jackie and I stained > 3/4 of the trim in the basement. There was stain everywhere. I think we might do the clear coating outside. Friday the Barretts got here around 12. The kids stayed w/ Grandma at my house, and Tami and I painted. Erik wasn't feeling well, so he bailed.

Here's Cassie and Jo painting Josie's room blue.

Harry is trimming the corners.

Jackie is a very hard worker! She has primed walls, stained trim and painted walls this week. I told her we should work on her Home Improvement badge for Girl Scouts. She also doesn't complain. Josie on the other hand is tired after about 15 minutes of painting.

We had the cousins pictures taken on Sat. morning. They turned out really good. I'll have to add them later after I scan them in. The kids are getting so big.

Sunday - Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's. Josie is searching.

Cassie and Jackie are dashing for eggs. Harry wasn't feeling well, so he didn't pick up much. Erik, Grandma and I went after they were done and found some candy too.

The concrete guys put the forms in on Thurs., but it has been too rainy to pour the driveway and sidwalks. Hopefully tomorrow. Derrick the electrician called on Mon. afternoon, and they are going to put in the can lights and some more outlets tomorrow, which will help alot.

All the walls are primed and ceilings painted (except the basement stairs). Jackie and Josie's rooms are done. Now we are working on the kitchen/greatroom/foyer/dining room.
