My Home Improvement Crew

Liam has been insisting that he is too big for Toy Story and Lightning McQueen decals on his walls. He is five and three quarters you know! This week I finally let him choose his color and then I braved the snow Saturday morning to retrieve the paint from Lowe's. This is the first painting that we've done since our move in 5 years ago. I can't believe we've been here that long.

The prep work went quickly because I had such a helpful crew.  Charlotte is fabulous at taping.

Liam was really looking forward to helping us paint.  We were not looking forward to that.  He had to wear his rec-specs all day because he had already broken his wire rims.  I took him to Sam's Club later in the day and they fixed them on site!  Apparently they have a full warranty for one year and Liam is going to make them regret that.  I told the lady we would probably be back in a few weeks.
Five minutes into the actual painting I bribed Charlotte with Netflix and candy to leave us alone.  Liam painted a few streaks and then left us to watch Netflix with Charlotte.
Before long we had a finished product!  Liam is happy with his color and now he wants a Cincinnati Reds Stadium Fathead decal for his wall.  He is going to have to wait a little while for that one!
