Day 151/365 - May 31

Avery decided she would help us out today and I really think this might be the first time she has actually painted!
She really enjoyed it and didn't do too bad of a job. 

You can see in the picture how the paint is just not covering well. It is beyond frustrating at this point. Two coats of primer, three coats of paint and the walls look like that?!?

We decided to take a break and enjoy Memorial Day by heading over to Jimmy and Jane's this afternoon. We swam and just visited for a few hours which was such a welcome change of pace after the busy weekend working on Avery's room. We were excited to see Stephanie's boyfriend, Matt, there too - he's a painter! It didn't take any time at all for me to ask him to come over, take a look at the room, and let us know if he would be interested in finishing it up for us. Truthfully, I didn't care how much it cost at this point! We blew our entire weekend working in there and didn't see any end in sight.

Matt stopped by and said it wouldn't take him more than a few hours to finish it up plus he would touch up the ceiling and paint the doors and trim work as well. Sign me up!!! He plans to stop by tomorrow afternoon to start work. Ah, a sigh of relief! Really, what was I thinking?!?
