When I got dressed this morning in my painting clothes, Charis pulled on my shorts and said, "Momma, we need to get loo some clean shorts." Hilarious...
Kenna took the girls for a play-date today. I stopped by Home Depot for weed-killer and paint cups and joined Haley at the house for painting the bedrooms. I rolled, she trimmed, we laughed. It was quite a fun morning. Jan and Jerry joined us for ceiling painting. They work fast!
I left for a shower and then headed to Crest for dinner supplies. The POD/Paint Party filled our evening. The James Family, Collette, Kenna (G&P kept Molly-girl), Ryan & Haley, and Mom & Dad joined us for a BUNCH of work. The guys pulled up the carpet from upstairs, removed the wallpaper border -- much too easily for my tastes, then started on the POD. Charis and I positioned ourselves in the garage at a desk, directing and noting where all the boxes were going. Poor Ryan. Every box he picked up was not only heavy, but headed upstairs. He kept a smile on his face most of the time, but I sure felt terrible. Jeff (who spent the evening tediously nailing in carpet tack strip) joined Dad, Ryan and James for moving a couple of the heavier items. Mom took the girls to the Browns and picked up Arby's for all of us. 20 roast beefs for $20! WOW! We added that to chips and cookies. What a feast.

While the guys were unloading, the girls were inside getting the entire living room and hall painted. They also cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. Ryan and Dad removed the gutters, really improving the appearance of the house -- if only the bright yellow horrible siding was gone... :-) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
