It's been fun mom but...

it's time for you to go back home! We can't keep up this pace for any longer!

In case you were wondering if we fell off the face of the planet....have no fear we are still here! We just haven't had much time behind the computer to answer emails.

In the last 4 days this is what we have ALL accomplished...
- finished prepping and sanding the house
- replaced all the trim on the garage...and caulked it all (that was a 100% fiasco, but I won't go into all the gory details)
- painted the exterior of the house and garage....TWICE
- removed and washed all the shutters
- trimmed all the hedges...and when I say trim, it was more like an Edward Scissorhands trim
- cut down a tree...not a big one, but it was definitely twice the size of us!
- replaced all the window well covers
- painted the exterior doors
- washed the interior and exterior of every...single...window in this house
- and here's the kicker....we even busted out painting the kitchen!!!
F...O...U...R days all that was accomplished...this insanity cannot be made up!

Eric and I started these insane tasks, then mom came on day two and then Matt and Laura totally surprised us on day 4 and that's when all common sense went out the window and we decided it would be a fantastic idea to start painting the kitchen!

Thank you soooooo much mom, Matt and Laura! There is no way we could have gotten this all done without you, but seriously I'm not sure how long it is going to take to recover! It's been so much fun and we LOVE the finished product...but it's time for life to return to normal....that is, if there is anything normal about our day to day life! :) We love you!!

P.S. we did take a really great self portrait of all of us in our finest paint clothes, but I can't get it to upload and this girl is far too tired to troubleshoot. Goodnight!
