Granted, he was avoiding homework, but it was still pretty darn wonderful.

They are learning how to patch drywall this summer. They are the ones who put the holes in their walls, they should fix them. I need to teach them how to do the joint compound properly, then one we are done, they can wash down all their walls and ceiling, prime the patches and new joint compound and paint their room. They have the largest bedroom, which was the girls room the last time we painted it. For some reason, the boys have expressed a desire for a non pepto bismol pink room.mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-43200709438641976492013-07-15T00:52:37.864-04:002013-07-15T00:52:37.864-04:00You can learn the clock thing!
