playing + painting

Saturday, July 26th
I'm a little out of order with my posts (:

Our brother-in-law, Brad, and the kids came down for the day to help with painting our house. Well, the kids and I mostly played while the guys worked on siding, trim, and painting! It was fun having the Creagers over! Ronan especially loved having his cousins over to play with all day long! They all played well together...it was a lot of fun.

Lydia loves art! Ronan and Griffin joined her for a short time (:
Audrey got to help paint in the attic. She was such a hard worker!
Brad did a ton of painting on the inside of the house while Josh and Papa worked to get the west side of the house ready for exterior paint.
We were hoping to get this side painted so that Josh could take the scaffolding down and put up the fence between the two houses. I had to get a picture of my dad helping Josh at the peak of the house....they were up SO high. It was scary to watch!

They were exhausted by the end of the day. It takes so much energy to climb up and down those ladders!

Brad was able to finish painting the side of the house before dark! Yay! There is still a little bit more siding to do before Brad returns next Saturday to paint the rest of the house. It will be such a relief when the siding is all done! It has been such a huge job!
