Today was a day of painting, painting, and oh yeah... more painting. And before you ask....

Yes I helped paint...

Yes the room was well ventalated...

No I do not think it will harm the baby....

No I do not need your opinion to the contrary....

Moving on. We got up around 10:00 and promptly headed straight to Hy-Vee to stuff ourselves with eggs and pancakes and hashbrowns. Once breakfast was over I was feeling more like napping than painting but I knew it needed to be done.

Jake finished the first coat of primer on the un-primed two walls while I headed off to Menards to get thicker rollers and an extender handle. Once I returned we began the second coat. He painted about half of the first wall before I decided that rather than just stand there I should just do something.

So he took the high trim work and I took the low trim work. I detailed around the baseboards and the bottom of the windows while he did around the cieling and the tops of the windows and also ran the roller. Yes, I know that's not even work. Life is not fair. :-)

With both of us painting we had the second coat of primer on in about an hour and fifteen minutes. At about 2:30 I laid down to rest while he headed off to shoot his bow and arrow for a few hours.

We reconviened about 5:30 and by 6:00 we were painting again. This time with the wall color. We finished with the first coat around 7:15 and then I ran to get some dinner. When I got back my parents were there and they had started the second coat. Since there were three painters now, I got to be the supervisor and tarp mover. A job I really much prefer.

We finally finished witht he second coat around 9:30 and we all colapsed onto the couches downstairs. Around 10:15 my parents peeled themselves up and headed home while I headed upstairs to crash.

Tomorrow is stripe day and I think I'm going to need all the sleep I can get!!
