Working weekend

This weekend we rolled up our sleeves and got to work! Aaron's parents came up to help us, as we wanted to get the living room painted and get started on putting up a fence. You can see Wyatt was eager to get to work as well! :)

Wyatt was working hard trying to pick up the full bucket of paint!

In the living/dining room we: 1.) primed the walls that had wallpaper before 2.) took down the ridiculous curtains and curtain rod 3.) patched holes in the walls 4.) sanded the 9-pane window, built-in shelf for the TV, and half-wall by the door 5.) Primed those three things 6.) Painted the dining room one shade of grey 7.) Painted the living room another shade of grey 8.) Painted the window trim white 9.) Replaced the outlets and outlet covers so they are white 10.) Put up the new curtain rod and curtains. WHEW!!! And that doesn't include the work that Aaron and his dad did on the fence. All of the post holes are dug and some have been anchored in with the concrete. And all of this happened with Wyatt around. Amazingness. :)

Here's a picture of the curtains, just for you, Cheri! :) Tonight Aaron and I are kicking back and taking it all in. My neck and shoulder are feeling all of the painting! :)

Anyway, when we make a little more progress with the decorating, I'll take more pictures of the living room and dining room. But you can see the wall color in this picture, and the fun chair. You can also see the awful purple carpet that MUST GO! Soon. When the budget can take it. :)

Happy 4th of July to you all!
