Sweet Valentine and weekend work

1 coat of paint on island
Door trim


White soffett :)
Sweet boy working on his Valentines

Marcus worked on his Valentines for his class yesterday afternoon. It was funny to watch him, he is very particular and quite the perfectionist...part of his homework was to write one valentine to each student in his class, which certainly was good practice for writing his letters and reading their names off the list. Thankfully there are only 16 in his class, so it didn't take him too long.
On Thursday Levi and I painted the first coat of lime green (Grass Cloth to be exact), then Friday Jim and I did the second coat and painted the island with one coat of white. This weekend Levi, David, and Jim worked on getting all of the door trim and white beadboard put up on the walls. It looks so different, and so much better, and we haven't even painted the beadboard yet. The soffett has been a source of a lot of laughter around here with it's multi colored flowers and million layers of wallpaper...so on Saturday when the first piece of beadboard was hung over it...wow, it was like angels were singing! It looks so much better! We still need to do some caulking in between pieces, and then paint the beadboard. We will do that today and tomorrow, then be done for this week.
Happy Valentines Day! I'm so thankful for the 4 sweet men in my life, who make me smile each and every day! I love you Levi, Marcus, Carson, and Cole.
