Living room

Here is what the living room looked like before John went to California and Utah last week.

and now it looks like this......

What a busy week that was!! I was up late every night and my body just hurt (I'm still recovering) but it was worth it. Of course John doesn't love the colors (pumpkin cream and windham cream) but I knew that he wouldn't but he was very happy he didn't have to do the work. Thomas really got into it. He was a very good helper on the Friday and Saturday. Actually on Saturday when we were cleaning up and decorating he took over. We both waited up till 1:00 am for John to get home to surprise him. Benjamin was really good at keeping the dishes cleaned up for me (after the mac n cheese type of dinners). Grace even painted the window seat. All the kids really liked the extra candy and TV time. There is still some touch up and clean up to do I think I will get to that on Saturday but this week I am really trying to catch up on all the things I didn't do last week like laundry, bills etc.
