Almost done!

I had the boys help me finish cleaning the walls, baseboards and walls today. I did the blinds myself so they could play. They worked pretty hard so I thought they deserved a little break. Then I had them watch the kids so I could paint and touch up all the doors, doorjambs, and baseboards in the house. I still need to finish the baseboards in our bedroom, but I touched up every door and most of the baseboards and doorjambs in the house. I had to completely repaint 4 doors downstairs so it took awhile! They look almost brand new!I realized last night that Kent had done his usual job on Justin's ceiling. He really hates taping off to paint so he paints up to the corner, and if it gets part of the ceiling or baseboards he waits until the paint is dried THEN tapes off and repaints the baseboard or ceiling. I don't understand why he does this, but it's what he does. As I was cleaning with the boys I realized that Justin's ceiling still needs to be fixed, and all of the baseboards in our bedroom are sage green. I painted our room shortly after Natalie was born, and i can't believe I didn't realize how bad it was until now. I did one coat on the baseboards in 1/3 of the room, but there is still a lot to fix. I can paint a pretty straight line, but it takes a while so Kent gets to pick up some painter's tape tomorrow so we can finish.
Amy, I even posted some after pictures for you. Tomorrow I'm getting my deep tissue massage so that will help my back recover from all of the strain, and then I'm going to Julie's house so she can train me to work in the office while she's recovering from her surgery. I plan on taking it pretty easy tomorrow! Let's hope all goes according to plan...
