We have worked really hard, but still managed to have fun. Jason and I got the bright idea to take down the one wall of wall paper in Paisley's room that the former owners painted over. Just as we had begun to pull off the wallpaper we knew there was a problem. Pulling off the wallpaper also pulled off the paint underneath and the paper on the dry wall. This left a big mess (and a panicked Stefanie). Luckily Dad is handy with spackle and we are currently under construction in Paisley's room repairing the damage. We decided we will leave the wallpaper and paint over it like everyone else did.
While Dad was off fixing Paisley's room, the rest of us were pulling weeds. We took out a couple flowerbeds to prepare for grass. We don't have pictures but so far we have taken down all the tops of all the bushes in front and all the pampas grass in back. Our yard and house sure look different now. We just have to some how rip out the heavy duty stumps to the bushes in front and axe out the pampas grass roots in the back. Then we will rototil the dirt and lay some sod!
Last night we made some Halloween cookies. We have some friends to deliver goodies to and we hope to have some left for ourselves!
Paisley didn't understand how we could possibly give away all those cookies so she insisted on having one to make sure they tasted ok (I think Jason insisted a couple times!)
We have worked really hard and some of us are sore, but there is still a ton of work to be done! Plus, a lot more fun to be had! Tonight we are going to a pumpkin patch to pick out this year's jack-o-lantern!!
