Clean, Tape, Paint...Repeat!

DAY ONE, CHECK!
Friday started with a trip to Sherwin-Williams and Fred Meyer (two of my favorite men recently)...and then off to the house. Rich immediately started covering up our "Crimson" wall with some primer. Next, he moved on to the guest bedroom and started edging the wall. Look at how much fun he is having?!?! My dad (Mike) got there early afternoon and immediately got to work cleaning the carpets. Go Mike! My mom went to work cleaning the guest bathroom and kitchen. Woo hoo!
After edging the guest bedroom, Rich moved down to the dining area and started his magic down there. I think that the boys (Rich and my dad) were sick of the paparazzi stalking them...so I got put to work with my dad edging the living room.
After a long day on Friday, we finally called it quits at about 11:30pm and crashed for the night (only after the spare bedroom was done). My mom and I had ran and got our sleeping bags...so Rich and I spent our first night at the house.
DAY TWO, CHECK!


Saturday started a little rockier than Friday...with a 7:30am alarm. Rich and I headed to our new favorite coffee joint (Cafe' Ladro on Bothell Way) and were working by 8:30am. We continued on our painting adventure with Rich and Mike painting the ceilings in the master bedroom and living area. Mom and I started on the back yard...here is Joni loading up some Azaleas to put in the flowerbeds.
Finally, after a long day, a much deserved break was to be had by all. My grandma, Aunt Roxy, Jenn and Danny came over to enjoy a little relaxation in the back yard...
Aunt Roxy made us a cute card ...yep, that's a Husky on top of a Cougar (talk amongst yourselves).
Then, we opened the present that my Grandma and Aunt Roxy had brought...and it was an Air Conditioner for our Bedroom. How awesome!!! There is going to be some cool nights in the house.
Then, we were spoiled again from Jenn and Danny with a cool chip and salsa container (loaded with supplies) for entertaining.
The guests were gone...and it was back to work for 4 more hours! Max was a trooper all weekend, but finally had enough and decided that it was time for bed (on the counter of all things).
The group ended the night by finishing the master bedroom. Nice rolling Mike! Awesome edging Rich! Fantastic touch ups Joni!
We were officially done by 11:50pm on Saturday night...and went to my parents for the night. We can't express how lucky we are to have had Mike and Joni (my awesome parents) help us all weekend. Rich and I would not have been able to get as much done without all of your help.
Go Team! One more day of hard labor...off to get the UHAUL! We're movin' on up today!
