on we go.......

OK, August 6th and WOW has a lot happened! At this very moment I am drinking some tea and watching Chris do a beautiful job on the 2nd coat for our countertop. Yes, you heard me correctly, a 2nd coat.
Strange, there were 4 steps for this countertop process. The first can had half a can too much, in the 2nd can we needed another half a can, the 3rd can had 3 quarters too much, and now with this fourth step we needed to go out and get an entire full can. Oh well. Chris looks great doing the brushing, and the counter's look fantastic. As for my work, well it's done for a few days. I have gotten both the bathrooms painted, the kitchen done (save for the actual walls) the up and downstairs living rooms painted and the up stairs hall. I am ahead of schedule and enjoying my break!!!

this just in. The top coat on the countertop hardens in 30 minutes. Chris has been working now for 40 minutes and counting.... will they turn out, or will we have to go out a 3rd time and do this again??? More to come..... Ahhh!

Anyways, Callym had a great time at his party today. Family and all came to hang out and have some snacks, hotdogs and drinks. Picking up the cake was a suprise, some how I ordered the full slab, this feeds about 80, well we had about 15 people. You do the math.... Anyways, good friends and family, Callym had fun. He has also collected almost 300$ to help him donate to the animals at the zoo and the world wildlife fund. He has chosen to help 5 turtles go to rehab, buy a goat to save a leopard, give a panda some room to grow in the wild, and he is donating the rest to the Edmonton Valley Zoo in the name of the Sea Lions. He is so excited to be doing something good for the animals. And actually mentioned that he wished he could help the gorillas, because he didn't want them to die. I am so impressed with how big his heart is. He is the greatest four year old I have ever raised.
