Saturday, the day to get some colour on the walls. Rachel, Derek and the kids came out from Winnipeg to help me and Miranda. We started by finishing up the primer that didn't get finished on Friday.

The plan was made and the party started.

                                    
                                  We got Ty and Rory set up in Miranda's room with lego and snacks.

          We decided it is way more fun all painting one room before heading off into the next.
                                              Closets are   bit  squishy though. But very funny!

       Derek (who looks so fine) wasn't sure about being in a closet with 2 crazy sisters.

                               The basement rec room was primed on Friday and very ready for colour.
                                   Derek is giving the walls a quick sand to prepare them for paint.

 Clean up is definatly NOT my favorite part. But the primer needed to be washed out before we could get the paint started.

                                          

                            Miranda did all the inside cutting in of the corners. She did a great job!
            Painting is so much more fun when its a party and also when you don't have to worry about making a mess.

                                                                       Wow!
                                                     Paint is so much easier than primer.
                                 The drywall seemed to suck  the primer up with every roller full.
                                                               The paint went on like butter.

                            I really like this colour. It is a few shades lighter than the main floor.

Rachel is getting the paint into the corners in the hallway. Miranda's room is on the left. Colton's on the right. Bathroom in the middle.

                            Miranda, Rory and Ty kept theselves busy the whole time.

What are they doing up there? Hmm looks like Ty is playing in the taping mud.

                                                                      
                                                                             oh oh.....
