My Life (In as many posts as it takes) #8

I've miss ya'll lately, I should have posted sometime during the week just to say hi but I got a bit busy. =P 

As you all know we painted our parents bedroom last week, I was SO triad after that. =P But on Wednesday Sarah and I had the pleasure of going to see our friends The Penningtons. =D You might have heard of J. Grace Pennington who is a Homeschool author and writes absolutely amazing books not to mention she is a delightful person to spend time with along with  her sister, Hope, who is also a very gifted writer! =D Okay, now that I've raved about my friends I should say, all I really did for the rest of the week was school and read. On Sunday I went through and supper cleaned my room and listained to Odesseys, which is one of my favorite past times. =D 

So, today I have pictures from all around the house for you, I hope you can kinda get a good idea of what its like to be in our house! =D No one was home the day I took these pictures so theres no people in these pictures.

A Disaster Waiting To Happen; Me.

Hello everyone. You may have realized this posts has two titles but you'll understand when I tell you what we did this weekend. We painted. I'm not a really good room painter. I can paint little things, tin flowers and pictures but room painting; I'm outa luck. =P 

So, my parents decided they really wanted their room and bathroom painted, so we got supplies, dawned ourselves in grubby cloths and over the past three days we ran ourselves ragged prepping, pasting and painting. =P 

I'm pretty sure I got more paint on things like the light fixture, my hair, outlites, the floor, a dresser, the ladder, the doorknobs, me, door frames and windows then I did actually the walls. And yes, I actually did get paint on all the things I mentioned above. =P 

So, before I completely humiliate myself I'll just show you pictures. =) 

Day one: Pumped

The room right after we've prepped it.

We put drop cloths down and covered the walls in brown paper bags as basically a seelent.

An almost finished wall.

We finished the whole room.

My one pretty picture. =D

Day two: Waning

We we're getting triad but pressed on.

We started painted. =D

Cought Rose and Sarah pasting. =)

They say Hi. =) 

Grace had war paint on. ;D

Day Three: Dead. 

Okay that may sound over dramatic but believe me, if you had done the work we had done, you would know how true a statement that was. =P 

Sorry for how silly my hair looks, I had to have it up like that because we were painting the ceiling and I didn't want paint falling in my hair. =P

Couldn't do this without a goofy photo.

Or this one. (My favorite)

Or this one. We we're REALLY tiared, =P

Tuching up the paint, we had a mini traffic cone under this. =) 

DONE!!!!! =D

Wow was that an TIRING three days, I'm glad its over. So, what did ya'll do over the weekend? =)
Oh and its my 100'th post!!!!!!!! =D
