Painting help







Two weeks ago my parents and my Grandma came out from Minnesota and my brother Caleb and his wife Sharon from Ft. Collins. They did an amazing job helping us get some much needed painting done on our house. The walls were all primer, and it was a bit too white. You can see we had some fun with Emma and Garrett's rooms, and there bathroom is very bright (I do not have a picture of it yet).
While they were here we had a great snow storm, the snowman is from Saturday of that weekend. Emma has been asking us all Summer when she and Rob can build a snowman again (she had a book about a little girl who makes snowmen all Winter with the same snowball "Sadie and the snowman" and it really got her thinking). So even though we were in the midst of painting Rob did not miss the opportunity to take her out and build her snowman. It must have been cooler on our deck, because the snow really piled up there first. So they were able to just use the nice clean snow on the deck. By Sunday morning we had about 6 inches all over the place, but by the end of the week it was all gone.
Emma and Garrett love to have tea parties and were able to have one with my grandma "G.G." (short for great-grandma) while she was here. She had not been out to see us in Casper since the year Emma was born (2005). Needless to say she enjoyed the visit and it was great to have her.
