Paint the Town ... Eggshell

I've been home from Albania two weeks, and they've positively flown by.  We leave in a week for our trip out east and I can't even wrap my mind around that yet! In this interim we've been catching up on office work, working on scheduling appointments for our road trip, but we've also been doing odd jobs here and there to help cover some of our bills since we aren't drawing a salary just yet.  Today we jumped back into painting my grandparents' home, which is to be put on the market soon, now that they've moved to assisted living. 

We had some enthusiastic helpers the first day... who we discovered were under the mistaken impression that they would actually get to paint too... with real paint.  We let them play with unused rollers and brushes and it entertained them for a bit (long enough to get a few photos).

Me: Look at Mommy and smile!  Look and Mommy and SMILE!  LOOK at MOMMY and SMILE!!!  Oh, forget it!

I'm painting you, Mommy!

Thankfully, Gigi and Gjyshe have been helpful babysitters because there's definitely a productivity correlation when the kids are around (as great as they are for blog pics). ;-)
