Count down begins ...

...not that we have an end date yet but we know its coming and so this last weekend we made it official.

The house is going on the market this week (so tell all your friends that there is a great house for sale in AL), and anyone who has ever sold a house can tell you that lots of work goes into getting it ready. Our big project was repainting the living room. It was a blue (that looked almost purple) and yellow. It wasn't exactly how I imagined it and figured buyers might not see that they could paint something different... now it's a nice toast color.

One of the other projects we got done was one that the boys got to help with. When we moved in there were beige and white switch plate and face plates. Now anyone that knows James will see that it's totally unacceptable to have 2 different types of plate thingies... He replaced a few when we first moved in but then got too busy with school, so 6 weeks before we move it finally gets done ;)










The boys were very excited that daddy let them help out. I think it took twice as long to finish but making some great memories was the point! & who wants to rush a great memory ;)

How cute! The boys look like great helpers for their Daddy. It's great that you're giving them those opportunities to learn and help contribute. :) Good luck with the house! I know it can be very stressful getting it ready to sell.
