What a few weeks

This was the color of the whole house!
A very ugly tan
or should I say pony tail.
That was the name on the paint can.
Who would paint a whole house
pony tail???We went to work.....
We started in the living room/playroom/
guest room/ we do not have a clue room
and painted it a nice dark brown.
For some reason it looks green during the day
and a dark brown at night.

Next we moved on to the
formal dining room.
Mr. PC picked out the color....
Bold Sangria!
I love it, if only we could have drank a
little of it, it would of made the painting
go a lot faster




Next we moved into the entry!
I wanted it to pop!
Then I realized.....



It is a two story entry!
That caused a few problems
1. We only have a 6 foot ladder
2. If we went to buy a taller ladder
I was still not going to climb it
3. The trim would have been done as that is Mr. PC's job,
but it would have looked a little funny with only
that part painted



We found a very nice man to paint
the entry, 2nd story hall, stairwell,
family room and kitchen.



The next thing I had to figure out
was how to keep the kids out
of the painters way and off my
wet walls for 4 days?!?!





We spent a lot of time outside playing in the water

Mr. Man loves water!!



The Diva is always up for playing outside




We went with blue


and brown !

We love it!
My mom and daddy (step dad) stopped by
on the way to pick my nephew
up for the summer.
The kids just love to spend time with them
Then it was off to the airport
to pick up Aunt C. and Ms. Nada
(Ms. Nada is Aunt C mommy)

At this point the Diva was on cloud 9
and I could have packed my bags
and went out of town for a few days

We spent the next few days just hanging out at home!
The kids had no need for mommy or daddy bacause
they only wanted Aunt C. and Ms. Nada.
They did some crafts and played a ton of cards.
The Diva always did win!
Not sure how that happened.

Mr. Man had his very own swing!

We had a great visit.
They would play with the kids all day
and stay up half the night with me and talk.
I was happy to have another night owl in the house
with me. I only wish the visit could have been
a little longer. Not going to lie I wish they
lived next door. But Aunt C. has a job and a house
that she had to get back to and Ms. Nada's hubby
would miss her if I tried to keep them here.


After we got back from dropping them
off at the airport my mom and dad
stop by to visit one last time before heading home.
Mr. Man was in heaven!

And still runs around the house saying
pawpaw


Then we got a day of rest before we had to move
all the kids furniture into our room
so we could have new carpet put in
their rooms. After the workers got
done that day we had to move it all
back and move our stuff into their
rooms so we could get carpet installed
in our room.

This is Mr. Man's room with all our stuff in it
and this is the new carpet.


It is almost a coffee with cream color.
That way when I spill my coffee Mr. PC
will not be able to tell.


After all that you would think we would be done,
but we are not.
It was raining on Saturday
and Mr. PC could not do the yard, so
I wanted to work on our laundry room

This is the plan.....

You are going to have to wait till we
are done to see what we did.....

On Father's Day we got a knock at the door.
It was my grandpa and Ms. Ann!

The kids had a blast playing with them. It
is hard to believe that my grandpa is 83!
So what have you been up to in
the month of June?

  1. Wow, June really was a month of family. I know I enjoyed my visit and can't wait until I can visit again. The kids look like they had a blast with all the company. Maybe you should take July as the month of rest and relaxation! I know you won't.

    XOXO
