Painting Adventure

After working on Darla's bedroom and making it look so nice, Jeremy and I decided that Derick's room needed a little love, too. (Gotta be fair, ya know.) So, we spent the long President's weekend painting! We are re-doing the closet and hanging trim, just as we have planned for Darla's room. Here's some pics of how far we got. There's lots more to do.....but, it's looking great so far.

Thanks to Diede, Haleigh, and my parents, we were able to get all the painting done. We started with the blue and then finished up with the green. While we were painting, Derick got to camp out in our living room. He enjoyed sleeping in his play tent with Daddy's flashlight and baby bear to keep him company.

Jeremy and I haven't hung very much trim, so that was a bit of a learning curve. We borrowed a friend's nail gun (Thanks Julia!). Jeremy had a couple of wrong cuts at first, but quickly figured out how it all went together. I spent a big chunk of Monday replacing the electrical outlets from the almond color to white. That was a lot of fun for me, I love to learn something new. I have to say, I love being married to a handy man!!! It was alot of fun to do a house project together. It's been a while. We have lots more trim to finish, but here's an idea of how it will look.

It was a busy weekend, but we still managed to enjoy each other. Here's some cute brother and sister loves, while they were playing in Derick's empty room.
