Painting!

Thursday the fun began. The kids and I went to Lowes and purchased 10 gallons of paint. This is just enough to get me started on the bedrooms. We started on mine and Andrew's bedroom since it is the biggest. I love painting but loathe doing the ceilings. My neck was so sore from looking up. Lance couldn't wait to help so I let him give it a whirl. 

The roller was just a touch too heavy for him to hold up at high. 

Thursday I got the ceilings done and Friday we started on the walls. The kids loved helping mommy!!! 

Lexie mainly stood in one area with the paint brush. Lance went to town and got allot done. I was super impressed with how good he did. He stuck with and wasn't messy at all!!! He even painted me this elephant!

I am super glad to have the blue walls and blue ceilings covered up!!! 

Our room is light grey and will have dark grey and teal accents. This big mirror was left in the house so I sanded it and painted it to hang in our room. 

I even ordered our comforter set already!!! I got a smokin' deal on Mother's Day that I couldn't pass up!!

Today the kids are going to be playing with some friends while I finish up their rooms. Even though we had 3 painters the job went pretty slow. I'm ready to get in there and get stuff done with no interruptions!! I love letting the kids help though and including them in everything, but I'm ready to move on to the next project.
