Let it begin!!

I  just finished painting the closets upstairs and our bedroom. As usual I have to be pushed into doing any work; especially stuff around the house. A ton of stuff has been done to the house last week; putting in trim, fixing all these things that have been on the long list, but never done. I am so grateful for all that has been done. I knew we needed trim, but that much trim?! The house looks amazing. Since everything had to be taken out of the closets I thought it would be a good time to start the painting. Plus, the weather was decent so I figured it could dry faster. My parents took the kids to the zoo yesterday so I could get it started and Jason taped a bunch while I painted. Then today I continued. Jason helped on the tricky parts where there is wood (I am not a good cutter) while our babysitter; the tv, occupied the kids for an hour. Granted we still have to paint almost every other room in the house, but at least we started.

Two good things came out of it; one is that Jason is a really good taper, I won't paint without him again. It makes it all so much easier. Second, we can now get rid of stuff more while we put away our clothes. All in all a very productive weekend. It is only the beginning of April and we are well on our way. I need to keep doing one room at a time and then it will be done without some crazy frenzy at the end. Well, there will probably be some of that; just  not as much now.
