Hmmm.....what to do?
So. My husband is away for three weeks. What will I do while he is away?! I know! I will pull everything out of the little girls' room, have them sleep upstairs and have Zeke sleep in my room, then I will take furniture apart, sand it, paint it.....not 1 time, but 2 times with a faux finish step in between! Then I will tape up the room and paint the walls. Next, I think I'll re-tape and then paint the trim for a fresh look. How about the picture frames....I think they need to be spray painted. The bathroom door needs painting, so does the trim in there, and the walls. What?! No bathroom paint left?! Okay, I guess that'll have to wait!
Well....have YOU ever started a project and, looking around, thought, "What WAS I thinking?!" That is exactly what I did! But I have perservered, with the help of Naomi and some from the others. Now, we are just waiting for paint to dry so we can put the little ones back in their room and we can have the livingroom back as well as Naomi getting her room back. Oh, this is so much fun, don't get me wrong. As a mom of ten, I NEED to come up with projects to keep me busy!! ;-) So, here are a few photos of the work in progress. (I can't believe I am posting some of these!)

You are crazy!! I never get past the planning stage. I know you have lots of helpful kids but you can always call me to come help if you need some. Good luck with the projects. Keeping busy is always the best way to pass the time when the man of the house is gone. We are praying for the trip and that God will use them greatly.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time you're having!!
ReplyDeleteMom's are crazy, aren't we? I think its great to do these "I must tackle it" projects, it is so fun to have the kids help out and "fill in" for the absence of Daddy. What special memories they will all have of this time!
