monday.

i'm not sure where to start.
today was a monday.
whenever i have extra time with aj, it's always extra hard on the first day he goes back to work.
i seriously wish he had a job from home.
i can't get enough of that guy!
i just feel more at peace when he's around.
i so enjoyed spring break last week. 
it was nice to have a break from our schedule.
it made today a bit rough though.
it's hard to get back into the swing of things.
on thursday aj's parents arrived.
for christmas i asked for one thing.
i asked that pam (aj's mom) would come down and help me paint our living room, kitchen & hallway. 
i knew she likes to paint and i was intimidated by the huge job that it would be.
they did me one better and paid for all the paint and supplies.  yay!
they arrived around 2 and pam & i started prepping immediately.
aj's dad got home with the paint and we were painting by 4:30. 
we painted until about 11:30 that night.
then we worked all day friday and finished up around 10:30. 
aj took off friday to help with the boys and help us paint some.  doug even got in on the painting action.  
 they really couldn't have given me a better, more sacrificial gift. 
i love it.
i still don't have my house back in order and that is annoying.
but i am so so happy it's done.  i've wanted to paint the walls since we moved in 5 years ago.
i'll post pictures soon. 

until then,  i'll leave you with some pictures of our little easter egg hunt we had today with some of the wet cement kiddos.
