The Robin Family: A Crazy Week

This past week has been crazy! Here is a small recap of the week. On Monday we started the process of having the entire inside of the house painted, every wall, all the ceilings, all the trim, and every door. We needed it done and they did a wonderful job, but I will never again live in a house while every inch is being painted again, I will just leave town next time.

The kids and I had to leave the house everyday at 8am and could not come back home until 5pm. Now, normally this really is not a big deal. I am out of the house with the kids each morning by around 8:30am anyways, doing different fun activities, meeting with friends, and even running errands. Where it becomes a problem is having to take the kids some place else to nap and in general just knowing that I could not come home between 8 and 5, it was annoying.

On Wednesday the painters started the trim and door work. They used an oil based paint which smells horrible and takes a while to dry, coming back home with that was not happening so we stayed in a hotel. This was our first experience in a hotel with the kids and it was really fun. We were on the 11th floor so the kids could see for miles. We could even see the Frisco minor league's baseball field, although they were not playing a game that night.We stayed in a room that had a separated bedroom which was wonderful for putting the kids to sleep first and then being able to stay up and watch TV and Talk. However, to be honest I was so worn out with all the running around that I fell asleep with the kids.

Finally, on Thursday the house was done! The painters did a wonderful job and did a great job cleaning up which I really appreciated. We have slowing been putting things back in their places. Some things have stayed while a lot has been donated.

Now for something much more relaxing, Bath Time!

Each night the kids pick out some cars to take to the bath with them so they can wash them.
