Part 1
So, today after school I hear through the kitchen window Camdon calling to me. I ask what he needs and he says, 'Mom, I think you will want to get a picture of this'. Oh, he knows me so well. Anyhow, he was just out sitting with our dog Molly and thought it would make a great picture and it sure did. Thanks son! He sure loves this dog and heads straight out there almost every day.
Molly is obnoxious & wild & chews lots of stuff up. But, we love her anyway.
Part 2So, we are having Thanksgiving at our house this year and we work really well under deadlines. It has been a good thing because it has motivation to get our dining room done or atleast mostly done before the holiday. I told Richard at the beginning of the week that if he would get the tape & texturing done by Thursday then I would paint over the weekend. He left this afternoon for a Scout overnighter with Jaron, Trevon, & many other boys. Well, I went to the store, got the paint, came home and started it. Wow, it's alot of work, painting. I worked at it for over an hour when I decided I sure could use some help. I called my brothers Tim & Kiff. They were actually out to dinner with my Dad (Mom is o.o.t.) but they agreed to come over after dinner. They were a huge help! It saved me hours of work. Kiff actually has worked as a painter before and they both were really good and made my efforts thus far look minimal. I would still be painting if hadn't been for the help. My Dad even came over for a bit and helped also. We got the primer on and now the actual color should go on so fast.
I think I have decided to paint the doors a chocolate brown. This will be the color of my curtains and think it will blend nicely. I didn't think about getting pictures when they were all here but below are some pictures of my brothers. Thanks guys!!!
