Plans Change....

Sometimes things don't go quite as planned. We had big plans to paint the family room ceiling this weekend. We want to get it all nice for when the time comes to put our house on the market. Who would have thought that it would be such a big job?!! Wow!! Poor Scott...he worked so hard to get it all done...what a trooper!

Early Saturday afternoon, he came home with the paint ready to get to work. The moment he began painting....the old paint started to peel off on his roller. This was not good! We both were very confused as to why this was happening. With a little research, we found that it was because he was using a latex paint on top of an oil based paint. The trick is to use an oil based primer first. So....long story short...Scott made his third trip back to Home Depot, got the primer, and finally got the ceiling painted. YEAH! It looks terrific and although we ran into some bumps in the road....we can happily look up and know that the job is done. What a good feeling!!

Other than that, our weekend was great! We decided to go back and visit my parents for a couple of days which was so nice and relaxing. We really need to do that more often. It was a lot of fun, and Kaelyn and I even stayed through this afternoon. Unfortunately time always goes by so quickly though, and after her nap we headed home to a house full of things to do.

It's the start to another week...and with Monday already behind us, I can definitely tell that it will be a fast one! Yeah for weekends! :)
