Exhausted is an understatement!!!!

I am 100% thoroughly pooped! The painting is done. YIPPEE...except the fact that I am sore, tired, got sunburnt on my shoulders and no cleaning got done on the inside of my house today! LOL My house still has a ways to go....but it is coming along nicely! I am so excited! The paint job turned out pretty good and I pray it doesn't start peeling....ever. LOL
Chris and his brother did awesome with the siding! They got soooo much done! I am so so so excited! We still have more to do...and we still have the other side of the house...but so much progress was made today! I thank God for the beautiful weather...otherwise I would have stressed about getting it done!Here are a couple before/after pics...

BEFORE ...white door...yucky peeling paint

AFTER... all clean....crisp and newly primed and painted!!! WOOT! (oh..and although you can't tell....the door is green!!! I love it! I will have to take a better pic of it sometime!)

Chris working on the siding....look how far he got!!! WOOT!

Hmmm....who could have tried to help?? Could he be 2 feet tall and 2 years old?? Why yes....I do believe it was Jaxson!!! LOL...*don't worry...some windex and it came right off! WHEW!*


Our little helpers again!!! hehe:


And the siding...finished in this area!!!! I am so excited! Chris and his brother did a GREAT job! Gosh...I can't wait till the whole house is finished!!! (I think I am getting ahead of myself here!)

Well, I am absolutely pooped! I look forward to hitting the hay. I have to teach sunday school in the morning...then we have church...then I hope to come home and reeessssttttt!!! LOL Thanks for following me on all this and with all the support and encouragement! :) I really appreciate it! As more things get fixed up and updated...I will be sure to take pics and post about it! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend everyone! :)
