Sunday visitor

I find myself endless entertained by these two and their imaginative play. We had a nice Sunday afternoon visit with Becca and Josh. It was the first time she has been to our hose.

"Kaylee will you give me a tour of your house please?"

"Certainly. This is the living room, over here is the kitchen……"

Good grief. They couldn't possibly be any cuter.

There were mermaids, pirates, lost boys, and of course Peter Pan. I believe Regan was at one point Batman fighting the evil mermaids…

At one point Becca was officiating the wedding of Batman (Regan) to Aurora (Kaylee). Good times had by all.

tool box

We have no idea why it took us so ridiculously long to buy a much NEEDED tool box. It's been years of "Hey hun where's the…..?" Followed by "Not sure. Somewhere on the tool table, or in that one box, or check those random shelves….."

The shame. AND half of the tools are at Joshily house right now, so it's actually usually a bit more of a mountain on top of the table. We are SO buying another one of these in a couple months. I don't know how we lived without this thing. Jon has dubbed this as the year of organization. Boy do we need it too! We spent a hour looking for my E6000 epoxy for Jon last night. I put it in a safe place so I wouldn't loose it, and then couldn't remember where that place was…. I found it this morning. Organizing is SO happening this year.

Paint sprayer

We headed over to Joshily house after lunch to paint ceilings, window seals, the hall, and base boards. I have to say that I will NEVER roll a ceiling ever again. Using the paint sprayer was SO SO SO much faster. The hall way took less that five minutes to paint!!! I am Itching to go back and knock out the rest of the painting.

The down side of the sprayer is that the children don't get to help, and they cannot be inside when we are working. The air gets thick with paint. So they enjoyed lots of Frisbee time.

Prep work for using the sprayer is more intense, but SO worth it.

Kaylee took this photo. "Hey boys look at me for a picture."

Ready to paint. I have to say that I don't understand how boys can walk with the crotch of their pants down by their knees. I had wardrobe issues with a very large (for my short self) paint suit. Walking was difficult. I resorted to walking around holding up the bottom half of the suit so that the suits crotch wasn't tripping up my knees.

The hall and a bit of the library wall got painted up in fivish minutes. SO SO fast. The rest of the yellow will be rolled on so that the white ceiling doesn't get hit with overspray.

Josh came away sporting a nice yellow raccoon mask.

We let the children wander in after the doors got opened back up and the house was airing out. They both still felt the need to sport respirators.

Cutest butt munches ever!

Regan took the photo of Josh spraying the baseboard and this one of Kaylee. Kaylee took this one of Regan. Then they got mad at their Daddy for taking Mama's camera away.

Poor kid had allergy induced river snot all weekend. "Mom my Zyrtec is just not keeping up!" So sad.

They played a riveting game of pass the pine cone. It was the slowest gentlest game ever. What you see is pretty much it, yet they did this for almost ten minutes.

The lighting was wonky and so these nest few photos are blurry. So sad. BUT here is Regan getting his sister back with unwanted hugs and kisses. "Reeeegaaan. I don't want hugs right now."

So he kissed her.

And then laughed and laughed.

By the time we were done Regan was well done. Stick a fork in him done. Beyond ready to go home done.
