Double birthdays

Double birthdays today on the Walker side, Asher turns 10 and Mya 12. Happy cake day!! XOXO The wind had settled it seemed now as I let H out to pee and around to eat. I sanded the whitewashed surfaces while she did so. Inside I got my cappuccino and marketing addressed. H and I let the kitties out quick before I was back to work painting in the garage. Shaina was up for a 10 am meeting making a cap after I popped in to make a 2nd one. I started with one color of white then changed my mind on the dresser body as too bright.



I was just starting the new white when a customers dad dropped off her huge desk for custom painting. Yikes it is a pile of parts and MDF but I will do my best. Kaylin was up now and watched Harley while we unloaded it all.

Back to the dresser; the first coat of white was brushed on and sanded when dry. I stopped to eat leftover Chinese for lunch then back out to put a second coat on. Britt and Cooper were out at 1 to get sugaring done and feed Bird. She was off after 2. The top and drawers were clear coated next and the white all waxed. As everything dried I came in to catch up the blog while Shaina took Harley for a walk in the  blustery sunshiny plus 5!

I added a second clear coat to dresser surfaces and when dry Kaylin helped me carry the body inside. I put away Cooper's pen and vacuumed the main floor. Shaina helped me carry the vanity upstairs after I put all the hardware on and found new screws for the mirror. I got it all at the door ready for pickup tomorrow morning and covered with a blanket to make it slime proof. The girls and Lexi headed to the city at 5 for the night.

I put the kitties away, changed out of my painting clothes and headed to town around 6. Harley is having her first stay in the house unattended free roaming. I returned sheets I bought at Can Tire before heading to Paetz's to get in on some birthday cake for Asher. I made it Can Tire as they were closing the doors at 6 but a kind gal let me do the return. Celebrating with the Paetz's was lots of laughs as usual. I headed home after 9 to find Harley sleeping in her kennel. She never even barked or got up. I think she thought I was painting in the garage for the last few hours ;) I crawled into bed and watched a couple The Boys episodes.
