Working on the house

This past weekend I spent a lot of time working on the house, and also cooking for for the church picnic and baptism at Lake Red Rock on Sunday. The picnic was fun, although it would have been nice if Scott was there also.
Dad and Mom came over for a few hours on Saturday afternoon to help out. Volleyball season is starting, so this is really the last chance Dad will have for a while. Plus, Dad will use any excuse to come to Osky and have lunch at Wendy's. Dad put down some more landscaping brick on the other side of the front door. He stopped at the point where he would have to move dirt--he just wasn't in the mood to haul dirt. i totally understand.

Mom helped out by taking a nap on the couch while I painted in the living room. Thanks for all your hard work, Mom!! :)By Sunday evening, I have competed both coats of brown paint, and also 2 coats of red paint! I only put the red paint on one wall, and I'm starting the process of painting the 9 tiles behind the oven red as well. Here is the wall:
I was a little concerned when I opened the red can, as in the can, the paint looks bright Magenta with pink tones! I reminded myself that the dried drop looked okay, and just started painting. I looked darker after 2 coats were dried.
And I see in this picture that I dripped a big splotch of brown on the trim. Oops...I am normally a neat painter, and I don't know when that happened! Good thing i'm painting the trim next.
