Rollers, Brushes, Water, and Baseball?

Kitchen before last weekend.
When Friday rolled around Colin mentioned that we should paint our kitchen this weekend. Without thinking I agreed. We had no idea of the task we were about to undertake. It was two days of a lot of taping, priming, and painting. I don't want to paint ever again and Colin would gladly agree to that. We do have a few more rooms to go though. There were times that we thought we just couldn't do it in one weekend. At one point I thought we would only finish the cabinets. But, every time we got really discouraged we took a break and played with Jason. Jason wasn't allowed to really get into the paint mess for those of you that are wondering about our little helper. He was banned from the project when he dented the refrigerator with a piece of molding that he pulled off of the living room wall. It was and interesting point in the weekend activities.

Pizza and baseball watching break.

Colin was glad to take breaks when there was a game on. Both him and Jason love to sit together and scream at the TV. Jason even has a mitt, just in case a foul ball comes his way.




Watering the back yard.

Even though we were super busy with the kitchen we still found time to get outside and water. Jason loves to play in the water, that is until he gets mud on his hands. That is another story though.

Our kitchen this morning.

I know the suspense is just eating away at you so here it is. This is what we have finished so far. We still have to do all of the molding. We really don't want to think about that at this point. The project did turn out way better than expected. Today I am going to get hardware for the cupboards and they will be finished. We are just chipping away at the projects in the house. Though the Red Sox lost, we made the best of our weekend. I hope all of you had a great weekend as well. As for us, we are going to enjoy what we have finished, rest our sore muscles (from painting at least), and water the yard some more.

A quick note: Colin's company announced they are being bought by Uranium One Inc. The formal announcement can be viewed if you click on the following link
