Well, we thought Jordan was done with mudding, sanding, and texturing the walls.
Once he saw what the walls looked like in the girls' room after we painted, he was a bit disappointed. It changed his plans on Saturday with painting ceilings upstairs. He set to work on texturing the girls' room and our bedroom. I can't wait to see the rooms completely done!!!
This hallway had original wallpaper on it from decades ago.
Happy St. Valentine's Day! Philomena was wearing a dress matching our godchild. Thank you so much! She looked so cute in it!
I think brother is going to protect his sisters!
Magdalene took a picture of me in the first veil I bought when I first started attending a traditional Latin Mass.
Out little teddy bear is turning one this week! He opened his first present from his godfather and family.
During Lent, the children are placing rose petals in front of Our Sorrowful Mother for all their little sacrifices and good deeds they perform.
This week we will focus more on giving alms.
Mena is coloring her own Lenten map this year. She jumped ahead and wanted to celebrate Easter!
The beautiful roses Jordan and the children gave me.
The big time arrived!!! Magdalene and I started to paint the girls' room!
Magdalene in her painting outfit. Doesn't she look so tall and grown up!
Daddy getting the kids ready to paint the boys' room.
We had fun painting with them, but I think now it's time for the adults to finish painting. Hopefully, we will be done by the first week of March.
Everybody's doing such a great job! Woot, woot!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Do you approve of the shades of blue chosen throughout the house....since you are my blue expert! Philomena saw the pink room and gasped. "It's pink!"
DeleteWow, what great painters and hard workers!! Everyone is doing a great job on this place, and I can't wait to see it! Keep up the great work and be sure to rest when you can. Hugs, blessings and love!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I can't wait for you to see it soon. Should it be a surprise for the children????
DeleteIt's so nice how your whole family is working together to make your home ready. What a lot of work, but so rewarding. You're making such good memories together!
ReplyDeleteWill the girl's room need painted again after it's textured?
And Philomela looks much cuter in the heart dress than Patrick did ;)
Thank you, Carolyn! I am grateful we have this time to have little hands help. It means so much to them, and honestly, I am amazed by how well they did. :) I think I need to take painting tips from them. Yes, the room will need to be painted again.....but that's okay, because it means Magdalene gets a chance to do it again. I thank Patrick for being such a good model for you. I hope to see you soon! I think we will go to High Mass next time.
