Weekend Work & some Tom Sawyer?

If you've ever read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, I'm sure you remember the part where Tom gets Ben to whitewash his Aunt's fence by convincing him it was "fun", right?

Well....we kinda did that this weekend (although we didn't head off to go fishing)!

 The girls had a blast helping us paint our garage....we donned them in hubby old t-shirts, gave them each a brush and a little paint and let them have fun.  It was better than any easel they've ever had access to!  Of course, we had to re-paint a lot of what they did so I'm not sure how much of a "help" it was, but they had so much fun doing this.

On a side note, my posts this week are going to be a bit patchy....I have crazy week ahead between the kiddos being off from school, my parents coming in for a visit, prepping for a craft fair this weekend and my older daughter's birthday party.  Yikes!  I'll be checking in but I don't know how much sewing I can squeeze in.

Next week I should be back to my normal schedule....until Thanksgiving!  Ha!  It's a busy time of year!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
