New Paint!!

I've been wanting to repaint the main areas of our house since Ethan "decorated" with pens and sharpies, but with the high ceiling and stairs, it wasn't something we couldn't do on our own... until now! Last week, there was an Amazon deal for a really cool ladder (it can do all kinds of stuff, even go on stairs!!!) so I got it for Jeremy for Father's Day. Yes, I had an ulterior motive... I wanted to use it to paint, but it will also come in handy for our construction business AND it takes up a lot less space than the extension ladder we have because it folds up so much. :) Anyhoo, I texted Jeremy this morning to ask if we could paint tonight and he said YES!! So I called in the paint order for him to pick up on his way home from work. In the meantime, Cliff Syner texted him to ask if we could hang out tonight. Jeremy asked me and I said, while I would love to, I'd rather be painting since he agreed to do it. :) Jeremy wanted the best of both worlds, he told me we would paint and he told Cliff & Lisa to come over. He didn't tell them we were painting, because he thought we would be done for the day by the time they got to our house. We had a lot done when they got here, but I wanted to at least finish the living room minus the stairs today. They said, if we had known you were painting we would have worn different clothes so we could help and then asked us for something they could wear. With their help we ended up painting everything I wanted done in one night!!! The picture above is Cliff helping Jeremy get to the tough part above the stairs. They are great friends and we will be returning the favor because they want to paint their vaulted living room too. :)
