Painting PAINS!!!

I have been at the house when I can painting one room at a time. Slowly but surely. So yesterday I went and started on the downstairs bathroom, didn't go so well. I got one coat of paint on and the older boys were having fun playing in the furnace box. Hudson somehow got around my barracade and got paint all over his clothes, now this is the second pair of clothes that he has ruined. I needed to refill my pan so I went upstairs to get the bucket, As I was trying to get around my own barracade I tripped and dumped half the bucket of paint on the floor (good thing the bucket was only 1/4 full) what a mess!!! So that was the end of that. It is too hard to paint when the kids are around.
Last friday my dad came and helped me paint, he was so much help, he wasn't a fan of my colors though, he preferrs white.:) Nate's grandma thinks it looks like we smeared cow poop on the wall, and I say cow poop is more green than brown but hey, who's looking. I'll have to post pictures and see what you think.
Nate has been laying tile and grouting, the kitchen area laundry room and pantry are done so now the cabinet guy can start installing the cabinets (he has been breathing down our necks for the last 2 weeks) Anyway so the house is coming along.

Brody only has 2 more days of preschool and Braiden only has 7 days of school left WOW! I am so ready to be done driving up and down the hill, it is such a pain!!! When school gets out the boys will start T-ball, they are very excited.

Hudson's new favorite words are "taint tou" (thank you) and today when I was calling for Ivy out the front door he stepped behind me and started yelling "Iya" (Ivy) he's a funny boy. He likes to pick up my cell phone and say, "hlo" (hello) and "bye". Everytime we walk into Nate's office he says Hi as loud as he can and all the girls come running to make a hugh fuss over him, hmmmm do you think he likes attention??

Nate got me a Cricut for mothers day (what an awesome hubby!!!) I have been having so much fun with it. I made some cool posters to announce the upcoming mother-daughter enrichment that I am in charge of so it couldn't have come at a better time.
