Juggling Painting and Life

Those who cross our path in our daily life no longer say "How was your weekend?" but instead ask "How is the painting going?" We have been juggling painting with life and work which has been fairly extremely exhausting and we are only now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I have been referring to the painting as my third job! On the weekends we often take turns to paint or do reno related jobs while the other looks after kids/cooks/goes for a run etc. The kids have been fantastic managing to find something to entertain themselves. Marbles appeared one weekend while Andy was out attacking the stump with his new wood splitter. Stump is still winning on that front!

Ella has also shown us a new skill learnt at vacation care...making damper! She is very happy to make us all a damper lunch and has done by herself on several occasions now which has been such a blessing while we are hard at work. Nice one Ella!
