We used the 4th of July long weekend to get the rest of the painting done in the kitchen/living room/hallways. On Saturday Justin did all the prep work and the ceiling. Heather also came over which was a great help. On Sunday we did the walls. The boys helped for a little bit as well. However at the end of the day when we were looking at the paint we noticed some of it looked darker. We then noticed the paint can lids had different formulas for the paint tint on them. Lowe's gave us two cans of free paint for their mistake, but next weekend will now be another weekend of painting.
On Sunday night we went and picked up the glider rocker and the last of the baby items we needed. We then met Heather and went down to Manitou Springs for fireworks. It sprinkled a little bit, but for the most part the rain stayed away. The show wasn't as big as we are used too - only lasted 5 minutes or so, but it was still nice. Carter seemed to really enjoy it. Tyler says he did but asked to go home during the whole show.
Monday we relaxed so Justin would have at least one day off. We cleaned up some of the painting stuff, but still left all the tape on and worked some on Nolan's room. Carter also had swim lessons and he was the only one there for his class. Half way thru we wanted to leave but then his teacher brought him to the other pool where he got to jump in and he seemed to enjoy that more. While we had hoped to have more accomplished this weekend it was still a nice family weekend at home.
