We were so thankful for our friend who came and got us starting on the actual painting of the house. She jumped right in and went to work on the ceiling in our son's room. He was so excited to have beautiful friend making his room totally awesome.
He would have helped her if he was 6 feet taller. LOL

She helped and helped us and even gave Eddie a few pointers on the project.
Ceiling one complete and drying!!! It's in Swiss Coffee.
Meanwhile, I was priming the walls.

Eddie and I finished the last room that was ready for priming. Tomorrow we have to get more paint.
I still have yet to choose the colors for the house and my room. YIKES!!! I feel the stress of finding that right shade.

Here is my sample wall.
I was trying to match a color that I had previously painted but didn't mark (not smart).
I got all the samples out and was redoing the sample wall. When I ran out of samples, I was perplexed because the color I liked wasn't on the wall.
Where could that sample be?!?
I was starting to feel a little crazy until I remembered: the car.
There at the bottom of the passenger seat hiding behind all the purses and plans for the house was the last sample paint I had.
It turned out to be the missing sample: Aged Beige.
I found it.
Now I have to decide if I really want that one.
Eddie seems to like it, so it just might be the winner.

Unfortunately as I was going crazy on the inside, my son was going a bit crazy on the outside.
We had our first injury. He stepped on a nail.
He had made a row of wood around the garden and failed to see wood with a nail.
OUCH!!!

That was enough for me to call it quits on the evening and head out to dinner with the family.
It feels like it's been such a long time that we got to eat out as a family.
Crazy days are still here, but it's slowing all coming into place.
Now it's time for baseboards.
Blessings.
