The Mess part III

Today was a very progressive day in terms of bathroom/laundry room.  I wonder if God ever thinks the same way about us?  Anyway, I'm having a hard time deciphering weekdays from weekends since the boys are not in school anymore.  Today totally felt like a weekend especially since Cowboy was home working on this never ending project.  It was such a fun day.  The boys hardly fought which is rare and I know they're sleeping well tonight.  Everyone was part of a different project.  Here are a few pics to highlight the day: 

Beamer Bob got the job of redoing the mailbox. 

He worked for quite awhile sanding away the old paint.  What was left of it I should say.

Here it is almost done.  He had fun doing this too.  Maybe he'll be a carpenter?  I have him pegged as a computer person.  Like on the Geek Squad!

These three hoodlums got to paint the fence.  They were excited until they remembered......

how long the fence really is.  This is the project that Cowboy worked on at the beginning of the year.  He welded alot of metal this spring.  This is one that took the place of the bathroom project.......

Can you see them?   They did pretty good!! Three cans of paint later.

They wanted me to get a pic of their hands......looks like they missed a few spots too.

And I wanted to get a pic of their faces....and jeans.  They must of forgot what they were painting a time or two.

Bossy Bob painted his hands and then thought it'd be funny to paint his fingernails black.

This was Bugger Bob's project after we paused for a station identification and ate lunch. 

Here is Cowboy cutting lots and lots and lots of trim.  It looks like he's going to cut his fingers off.

It's coming together!!  Working on the trim.

Got the baseboards in and need to get the window yet.

This was my job and I think I might be staining in my sleep tonight.  I can't imagine building a house and having even MORE trim to stain and poly.  My new nickname I think is Polly.

This will probably be the last to get done.  I got it painted but we're so focused on getting that shower done before harvest. 

I will be having another cleaning party soon.  No one showed up for the last one.  So I thought I'd try again! lol   Maybe I'll have a family gathering and surprise everyone by making them clean before they get to eat!  lol
