Let the painting begin

The furniture that will soon be in Emma's room is going through a makeover. After calling several people and asking everyone we know . . . we realized we are going to have to do this ourselves if we don't want to wait the 6 weeks it would take to get the one guy who says he can do it. Chucky is turning mismatched wood furniture into four peices of white furniture. We are not do-it-yourself, home-project-doing people, so I am a little nervous at the way he has just speedily tackled this project, without consulting how-to websites, making lists and going shopping like I would have done. If only I wasn't pregnant, I could sand! I could prime! I could paint! But I am pregnant - the whole reason we need the furniture! Anyway, he took the furniture off location and brought it back after spraying it all with primer. I don't think there was much sanding involved. He is now painting. Emma is quite intrigued and finding it very difficult to obey the "no touching" rule.

Here she gets her first instruction to BACK UP!


Ok, she backed up but now she's whining, "but I just want to watch!"


Now she's on the floor begging.
