Painting

You might assume from the title that I'm going to post pictures of the numerous painting projects that I've been working on for the past several weeks. I would really like to do that, but I didn't get around to taking pictures yet. I have painted 3 sets of closet doors (the bi-fold type), the trim around each of the, and doors above each of them. It doesn't seem like a lot until you think about the fronts and backs of 12 doors (each closet has 2 sets of bi-fold doors--the pictures will clear it up later!) and the fronts and backs of 6 overhead doors. Plus, 2 coats of paint on everything. And, I'm now 8 1/2 months pregnant--it takes much longer to go up and down the ladder :)

Well, as I said earlier, you might assume that I was going to talk about my painting projects--which are DONE, by the way!! But, I'm not going to. Instead, I'll let you see the pictures.











So, here's the story. I ran to the store last night--super fast, was only gone for about 30-40 minutes. I came home to this mess. Problem? Tom only slept 3 hours Wednesday night and 0 hours Thursday night. He slept for about 3 hours Friday morning (work issues). Real problem? I left 5 kids home with a very sleep-deprived dad! They had a great time painting (ie wasting all my paint, smearing it all over the table, getting it on their clothes, etc). Tom told me he really didn't know what they were doing--he was too tired to really care! He did, however, clean up most of the mess. I had to deal with Ethan's clothes :) Next time? Leave sleep-deprived husband home, BUT, take all paint and markers with me!!
