Working our Butts Off

I took Friday off so we could repaint our living room. It is now Ecru and Leap Frog Green instead of that nasty "sage" green I put up last year. We also ripped out the carpet and discovered we have awesome hardwood floors underneath! I spent all day yesterday on my hands and knees repainting the woodwork, pulling staples, and taking out the tack strips. Thankfully, Mike and Sandy were happy to watch Ryan this weekend at their house.

The third shot is of Ryan's playhouse. Todd has been working on it for at least 3 weeks. It is totally awesome. He just has to finish the roof. He is going to put on a mailbox and put in furniture. I get to landscape it.

The fourth shot is of our new patio door in the dining room. It has more than paid for itself. Now Ryan can just step outside to play and I can watch him from inside. If I need something from the garden, I can just step outside and get it. It's awesome. I also painted my dining room red, but I will have to save that for another post.

I need to catch you all up on everything that has happened in the past month, including our "vacation" in Omaha, but I need to go paint the hallway before Ryan gets back.
