She's Baaaaack

As promised, Heather came back this weekend to help put some more finishing touches on the tree. Her long-time friend, Tyler (along with his friend, Mike) was stopping by her place Friday on their way to a wedding in Dallas, so they let her catch a ride with them! We were very glad to get some extra Heather hours for our weekend!

The kids had a total blast playing with her. Lots of giggles and play-time.

And a few of the jobs along the way...putting the owls together...with some help.

Drawing a sketch of what she was going to add to the tree. Along with yummy Pink Truck wine and music.

Mike showing the kids something on his phone. They were able to join us for lunch on Sunday and hung out a bit afterwards.

The playroom has come quite a ways. Brad and I decided we needed the archway to be painted as the tan-to-blue looked off. Brad also discovered that it is not easy to do detailed paint on textured walls...so he has some finishing touches to do after he can go and get some special painters tape he found recommended online...so yet another thing on the still-to-be-done list. Heather added a lot to the tree. We may ad some more finishing touches here and there and work on the trunk a bit more, but it is done with the major paint job. We finally got some of the toys moved back in Sunday afternoon and just coming up with how we want it arranged. Still on the top of the list: putting a light in the tree trunk, paint the ladder and hutch red, paint Little People shelves, quotes on the walls, wall to display art work...yeah still much to do. :) And lets just say Brad and I may be looking into finding someone cheap to paint the kids rooms after this adventure! :) But more than likely we just need time to let us forget about it and then we will think we can do it again. ;)
