So, the husband decided earlier in the week that he wanted to work on a few projects around the house over the long weekend. Great, I say, what type of projects (do I really want to know the answer?). He responds by saying he wants to paint the trim on our house and refinish the front door. WHAT? All in three days? He says not to worry--I roll my eyes and move on. Saturday morning he returns from Home Depot with bags full of supplies, paint cans, a roll of brown paper and a water hose (the one thing we did need). I make the mistake of looking at the receipt (I could have bought a great pair of shoes for what he spent). Anyway, I promptly tell him I am going shopping and will stay away as long as I possibly can. I return with a few things for the house and supplies for my art project (more info. on that later) and find this...
Notice the blue/gray strip at the top. This is what our entire door used to look like.
Today is really no different than yesterday--more old paint removal. Did I mention that our door has 83 years worth of layers and layers of paint? This means layer after layer of paint remover. Please pray that the husband completes this project before he goes back to work Tuesday.
On a much more exciting note, the Lawson's welcomed a new member to the family on Wednesday. Kimmy and Jon have a beautiful new daughter--Lainey Elizabeth. She just could not wait to join the fun that is our family, so decided to make her big debut one month early (and on Pop's birthday, no less). Can't wait to meet her tomorrow!
