No pictures today, because they’ll be the same as yesterday morning’s.
Painting went so much faster with Snowy and Ash and myself and the five LittlePainters, but yesterday and today it has been just me. I got the first coat of ceiling paint on the main section of the ceiling. I got two-thirds of the second, and last coat, on today before I ran out of paint.
The LittlePages have been real troopers this week. Page1 made lunch and dinner on Thursday, Page2 helped with the LittlestPage, Page 3 helped Dad with some framing and Page4 lended his cheerful chatter to keep us all going. All five of them chipped in to help paint the walls. But they are pretty much done with amusing themselves for such long periods of unsupervised time. A child left to himself brings shame to his mother. It’s time to get back to regular routine!
And so as we end the week long attack, we are both excited about what has been done, a little defeated by what still needs to be done, and sore all over!
We’ve talked about trying to get up a little earlier everyday and try to maintain the momentum, but we’ll see.
A painting is never finished–it simply stops in interesting places. (Paul Gardner)

Be not discouraged!!!
You got TONNES done this week! AND it seems as though everything that’s left can be done in bits and pieces when you have time, or when people drop by just to help. Just keep the brushes in the freezer and the saws ready to go and we’ll be done in no time!
