Big Project

To keep this from being SUPER LONG I’ll try and stick to pictures, that’s the fun part anyway!

Before the start of the staining week.

So thankful for my dad who came up to help for the week. Couldn’t have done it without him!

No, that is NOT snow..I promise! We had a crazy amount of cotton flying around from our cottonwood trees.

Oh yeah, and you see that little portion in front of where my dad is standing? That was my contribution, I was a slow painter.

More crazy cotton pictures. (Maybe THIS is why I was slow at painting..I got distracted easily).

Our favorite tree finally went into full bloom last week too, can’t get enough of it!

On Thursday my dad’s sister and husband drove up from their cabin in Walker to join the festivities. Or rather to BRING the festivities. Jerem and I headed out back and pretty soon we had entertainment. painting2 012

I almost started doing a little polka…

But then I remembered my coordination issues and figured with my location it might not be super wise.

(Who am I kidding, me break out into spontaneous dance?? YEAH RIGHT!)

Proof that Uncle Jerry is good for more than just entertainment.

(Yes, that’s our monkey, a.k.a Ava Lou. She was doing pull-up on the scaffolding all week!)

The door really makes everything pop - the trim, the bricks and the main color. Love, love this.
