for last week, to be exact on my saturdays list, was painting the room. it is definitely not my favorite pass time, but it had to be. our friend moved out by mid july and after a few times when we hosted people, the room needed to be painted and by the end of the month it should also have a new carpet. of course i was not left allone with the task of painting. thea was a very good and mostly willing assistent. taking down the curtains, the curtain rods, cover up the electricity outlets and windows, door frames etc. and then of course helping with the painting itself. she was very much looking forward to do so. a bit of a bummer, it was for her, when i told her, that we have to paint the corners first. yup all the corners and trims and rims needed to be painted with the brush, before we could start with that all super exciting paint roller.
so the roller had to take a bit of abuse, while i was still working on those corners, thea got excited to play and to artistic exercices with the roller, in all kinds of ways...
never mind. when we got to use the rollers, she was happy and could not be stopped applying paint to the walls. it was fun to haver her work alongside. the time rushed by and before lunch (we decided to have lunch after we were done painting) was served, all was done. before nightfall, we were taking off all the paint and plastic covering. and well, the room is ready for the carpet guy to come and put a nice the new floor in.
and who knows, maybe as early as mid october we have a new friend living with us...
