the big, long, house painting project
A couple weeks ago Jeff had a few open days on his calander so we decided to be sporadic and paint our house. It wasn't completely sporadic; we've planned on painting all summer. We just all of a sudden decided to do it then.
Thankfully Sherwin Williams was having a sale the weekend we decided to buy paint. Score.
It's not done yet but you can see the just of it. The color we chose is called "Enduring Bronze" and we are really happy with how it looks. We will still do the trim and replace the front door and shutters on the front windows.
The project is taking longer than expected but we are still enjoying it. The kids love to help but Jeff and I have been strategically getting up early and painting before the kids wake up... to help our own sanity :0
It's also been extreemly warm during this project. On one particular day after painting for hours we got the kids McDonald's and took them to Birch Bay as a treat. They have been real troopers through this whole process. Jeff and I ended up swimming in the bay that night. It was so cool and refreshing and we were so hot and spent from painting most the day.

whooop whoop Sherwin Williams! Our house painting project is taking quite some time as well...mostly because it started late last summer and Chris started again in like May. So basically Ive been able to get out of helping by using pregnancy as an excuse :) Looks good guys!

House painting becomes a real fun when you involve the whole family in it, just he way you did.
