Painting Day: part 2

Oh, dear me. I am so tired. My feet and hands are aching. I guess I have a tight paint roller grip because I think I am getting blisters. Again, I say... dear me.

So, it is 3:55 and so far we have everything done in Quinn's room except the edges of the yellow wall. It looks great ... and ghetto ... all at the same time. The window well in that room is super ghetto. The yellow in the window space makes the wall look like it belongs in a dirty preschool, but I think that affect will change when the new windows get installed in a few weeks.

In my mom's room we've got the primer on and the ceiling painted, and I am gearing to go on the paint.... but also so tired, so here I sit blogging.

It has been perfect chaos over here today! Melissa and Asher came at about 10, and Melissa went to WORK! She is the fastest painter ever. I am about the slowest. When Lindsay and the boys showed up, Lindsay took over babysitter duty upstairs like a champ.

We took a break at noon to throw a little B-day party for Trace Turner, our nanny's little 2-year-old. We got a few more strays and ended up serving food for 5 adults and 8 kids. Pizza and cupcakes!!

And then it was back to work during nap time.

It has been a long day, but I figure -- As Kristie always says, Why under do what you can over do?
